Story of an Hour

After I read that story, I sat back and thought WOW! I didn't know what to think about the whole situation. During class when people brought up that she was glad her husband died because he probably abused her, I never thought about that when I was reading the story. To me, when she locked herself in her room, I thought she was dying or letting herself go into the "light". What really made me wonder was the last set of words...."of joy that kills."(194-20) I thought that maybe she saw her husband and had a heart attack. In the beginning it talked about her heart trouble but then it said she was young. So I didn't think that was the likely cause of her death. I guess there are so many conclusions that we could make about this story and we will never know the truth unless the author wrote it down some place. I really liked the story but in the middle it was a little confusing and I got side tracked a lot. I wish this story was longer so we could find out what really went on with her marriage. Then we could tell if he abused her, she married him young and didn't love him anymore, or everything was just fine and dandy with them.
