"The Story of an Hour" was written in 1894 by Kate Chopin. Chopin was a widow who wrote with a realist point of view. In this short story, the narrators point of view is third person omniscient. What that means is, the narrator is all knowing and provides the reader with more insight than a first person narrator would.
To begin with, stories with third person narratives often offer consumers extra insight, that would have otherwise not be provided in first person. Also, third person omniscient is all-knowing. For example, if this story was in first person the reader would not know that Richard, was among the first of Mrs. Mallard's husband's passing. Also, there would most likely not be any information provided about Mrs. Mallards' heart
