This is a story about Ms. Mallard, a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage. She is told through a telegraph that her husband has been killed in a train accident and she is comforted by family and friends at home.
Crying, she returns to her room, but soon feels a sense of freedom and joy. In fact, she is happy and begins to imagine all of the things she can now do.
Her sister brings her downstairs, upon which the front door opens. Her husband walks in. He is alive and well. Ms. Mallard dies instantly.
The magic of this short story is what isn't written down in the story and all that must be assumed by the reader. There are hints of certain elements of what life must have been like for Ms. Mallard, but none are definitive. We can assume that the marriage was for something other than love, like money or power. Perhaps there was a big age gap between them, or he worked so much that they hardly spent any time together.
When she enters her bedroom and looks outside, the death of her husband and the signs of life that she sees are great contrasts. Life seems more pleasant, or at least she begins to notice life around her.
Before the appearance of her husband at the end of the story, Richards, a friend of the husband, tries to shield himself in front of Ms. Mallard. Why he would do this is not stated, but he must have known how she would react. Perhaps they were having an affair? That is unclear. But what is clear is that Ms. Mallard felt trapped and for a moment, felt freedom.
From "The Story of an Hour" it's not about word count, but making each word count.

You obviously did not read and analyze this story. Her name was Louise.
I have already mentioned this correction in the video annotation. Thanks.
Bro it’s not that serious ??
some loser if you make a professional video this mistake is inexcusable
Nikoemil yes however they were being snarky “you obviously did not read” like bro chill
When I read it, her name was Josephine
Honestly guys, the name mistake isn't that big of a deal, and he realized it and made the necessary change. Great job on the video, and wonderful summarization.
Dude I was about to write a whole ass report on this story based off of this video but thank Christ I double checked the names lmaoooo
OMFG MEEEE TOO HAHAH
As I read it, I didn't take her having a weak heart literally. I interpreted that as her being an emotional person who wears her heart on her sleeve. She is fairly young and so unless she has some genetic heart problem, it would be uncommon for someone her age to have heart issues.
The great thing about literature is that people read things differently. And yes, I did read this story. It's quite short. Perhaps you can read it again and see if my interpretation still holds water.
Josephine is the sister. The woman whose husband dies is named Louise
Josephine's husband died, too? Damn. This story was more tragic than I'd thought.
Àgreed
Richards shielded the dude because Louise had a heart problem and seeing her dead husband alive and walking wouldve been a huge shock, which couldve, and did, kill her
Funny how they did the summary of the story of an hour in a minute
Thanks a ton, good to just review the video. People are stupid complaining about the name problem, this was very helpful! :)
+RileyBelleville Thanks.
Thanks bro! Got an assignment due about this in 40 minutes, definitely helped !
Update on the assignment? 😂😂
Read this for class. Professor talked about symbols like "Like a Goddess" implicating the image of the headless greek(?) one, and "elixir" being not real, meaning it was mostly an illusion. It was an interesting take on it.
Okay so i just wrote a whole ass book report and then realized the names was allllll messed up... Thanks
bruh i didnt even do mine
I've read it,analysed it, and read many other analysis of the story. I also wrote a lengthy paper about the story and author. Everyone else points to the obvious, and integral part of the story concerning her medical condition. The story doesn't work as the author intended unless that is held out as apparent. I'm not attacking you, just want it to be clear for those who find your video looking for information. Your interpretation is mostly accurate, except one of the most important aspects.
Next time if u want views l2title vids. "The story of an Hour in a minute" was screaming type me
I think your interpretation that this was a loveless marriage is too narrow. She does say that she loved him sometimes and that she would feel sad again about his death.
Maybe she did love him,but I think her husband was abusive
I think as Mr mallod,was abusive, that's why her independence was more important to her
thank you so much I was so confused
It says in the very beginning of the story that she has a weak heart and that is why the news needs to be broken to her by her family, not by telegraph. This is also the reason that Richard tries to shield her from the shock of seeing her presumed-to-be-dead husband walk through the door...not some scandalous affair.
Maybe YOU should read the story before making a whole movie...?
this is incorrect
The story is about Louise Mallard sir . SMH 🤦🏾♀️ sigh
Thanks. You're correct.
Her sisters name is josephine lol
Her name is Louise I think.
josephine is her sister
it is not the story of josephine, it is the story ms mallard, josephine is her sister who tells her the news.
This will probably help me in English class i didn't want to read it on my own
Good looks I have a presentation on this in 5 hours
What type of characterization does Kate Chopin use in The Story of an Hour? How does it contribute to your reading of the story?
Bro had a school assignment lmao
