According to Kate Chopin in her article, “The Story of an Hour”, a wife experienced huge psychological gap in only an hour.
At the first of the article, her sister Josephine told her husband was dead and her husband’s friend Richards confirmed the reliability of the message. Of course, she was shocked and she can’t say any word. She didn’t do anything else, just stood, facing the open window. Her heart was empty. She began to think about their couple life. They cooked together, travelled together and slept together. But now, nothing was impossible, her husband has been died, she can’t do those things with her husband. She saw herself in the mirror, a young lady with a fair, clam face. Next, “she sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.” (Kate) She had thought about whether it was just a joke for her, but quickly, she dismissed this idea.
After her psychological struggle, it has been an hour later. She decided to receive this fact and thought she was free in the future because she won’t be bound in their marriage. She can be free to do anything. However, when she tidied up her mood and went out of the room, she found that her husband was still alive and he was walking into the yard. Huge psychological gap made her died of heart disease. After reading the article, I think about myself. When I assume that they die in front of me, I find that I can’t receive it. They are my closest people and they have special meaning for me. If they die, I may fall in a faint. Mrs. Mallard’s reaction is not exaggerated. She just thought a lot about her husband with her; at last, she received the fact. I remember my mother with me. When I was a child, I always fought with other kids, which made my mother annoyed every time. However, I liked this felling, I thought my mom must see my strength and she may think I’m strong enough to protect myself and her. I am wrong. My mother would punish me when I went back home. Until the last time, I saw disappointment in my mom’s eyes; I decided to become a well-behaved kid. I knew I’m the whole world to my mother. Even until now, I can remember my naughty. If my mom dies, I will have no chance to atone for my crime. I have let her worried much about me before, so I …show more content…
If my boyfriend loses his life now, I won’t feel too much upset. However, think carefully, I can find that I can’t live without him. No one will call me every day; no one will talk about all his interesting things to me anymore; no one will say he loves me. These things are too simple to be ignored, but when you realize that there is one less person who cares much about you, you must feel uncomfortable. Mrs. Mallard is a good example: when her husband is alive, she didn’t think he is super important, but when she was told her husband was dead, she felt her inner is
