The Story of an Hour --By Cave dweller The story is quite short but impressive. The wife who is afflicted with a heart trouble hears her husband's death. She weeps at once, while heart goes free. Alone, she reflects her life as a wife oppressed by her husband's powerful will. Rejoicing in freedom, death helps her defeat the tyranny in her family. Hoping in a better life, the whole world becomes adorable. When she appears in the public again, at that moment, as the author says "there was a feverish triumph in her eyes, and she carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of Victory". Until now, everything seems perfectly gratifying. A human being lives up to the command of Isaiah to "undo the heavy burdens- let the oppressed go free". As usual, the author has foreseen that a happy ending story is a less than satisfactory. Here comes the dramatic change. The "forever gone" husband returns. The king will regain his throne. The wife will retreat to the corner. Beholding the man walking bodily into the room, the joyful wife hearts the crashing of her dreamy future. A weak heart can't take the two opposite extremes. Then, she dies suddenly, while expectedly. The doctor says she dies of heart disease-of joy the kills. While sarcastically, not joy kills, but despair counts. Kate Chopin writes the story in 1894 which is the starting process of feminist movement. At that time, the strength of fighting for women's rights is weak and vulnerable. Therefore, the death of the wife implies the unavoidable failure of it. The story reveals the hiding truth in the seemingly harmonious and happy family: the powerful will of a husband bends the wife in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature. In author's opinion, this family tyranny is a kind of crime. Women, especially house wives, ought to live for themselves with independence and dignity. However, in a long history, women's rights are ignored. So the fighting must take times, while people are patient with the tribulation. 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/6bac4814c8d376eeafaa3187.html
