The name of this story is “The Story of an Hour.” This book was written by Kate Chopin on April 19, 1894. It was published on December 6, 1894 by Vogue magazine.

traditional foundations of utilizing a hero and a villain. Through the assumption that good will always triumph evil, the necessary morals and values fail to grasp the whole picture. By producing such a story, the protagonist suddenly becomes the focal point of their tale. Doing so, it creates a void in the story as it grants specific characters the attention that they deserve.
