"Hour" closing remarks

[Marcy]

Story oh an hour was pretty interesting. I never read anything like it before. I liked it because it told the truth of some women that are married. Alot of people view being married as a beautifull thing when as in others like Kafka view it completely opposite. Her views are pretty interesting.

"Story of an Hour" is another story that I don't really like. I hate stories about women showing that they are weak with out a man. I don not beleive that women should feel like that especially in these times of great succsess for women. They can leave that in the past. There should be no woman that should ever feel trapped because she does not have a man next to her.I beleive that a woman is meant to be strong and not depedent of a man. Just how they can take care of themselves women are able to do the same thing.I would like to read a good story about a woman that is successfull and could take care of herself. Even though Mrs. Mallard got over it and was devastated by the fact that her husband past away she knew it was a good thing for herself and a new chapter in her life.

The story of an hour was interesting to me. It is not your typical story. Instead of Mrs. Mallard being devestated about her husbands death she was extremely happy. Mrs. Mallard showed she was entrapped by her first words after her moment of being supspened. "Free, free, free." My question is why didnt she leave? Was this story showing the message that woman can't think for themselves?

Great posts over all!
Re-reading over your final postings I just wanted to once again stress the divorce was NOT an option for women during this time period. Though divorce has become common practice within the current American culture, it was not so in England during Mrs. Mallard's time.

I just wanted to clearify this :0)
