The Story of an Hour

This story relays a message that I feel is recognized in a bad way. What i mean by that is that there is a lot of negativity going on in this story. What this basically talks about is the death of Brently Mallard, how free Mrs. Mallard felt afterwords, and the death of Mrs. Mallard. All of the events that take place in this story are negative because there is no happy ending or nothing good that comes out of it. Thats what I feel is the down fall of the story as a whole. Since there is no positivity, its hard for me as a person to picture everything because I'm a positive person.

The death of Mr. Mallard was kind of a mistery to me. I think that because they never really said what happend or how he died. The only thing that they siad was that he got in an accident that involved a train, but In my mind that could meen anything. They also didn't say a date or anything, so it was hard for me to determin what day and age this is. I noticed that this story was told in the 3rd person, by a narrator.

How Mrs. Mallard delt with the problem was awkward because she started out crying about his death, and then she's telling herself she's free. To me that seems like betreayal because she's basically saying that she's happy and free that he's dead and she can live her life. Maybe she was beatin or something because anytime you are telling yourself that your free with excitment after someone close to you died, that's a problem. Even to have the media publish his death in the news she still is kind of indifferent, as it seems. I think something is wrong or happend in their relationship that caused her to be torn about his death. That's a hidden answer that might not ever be answered.

When she died at the end I felt the story was ended to early because there was a lot left out. From that point I felt that the whole story was incomplete. There is no reason why this story should talk about this little information and end as it started with a question. This really makes me think life and how actual people live on a daily bases. I think that the message was that you shouldn't hurt your self trying to get over an obstical in life or in this case a death.

In conclusion- I feel over all this story talked about a lot of negitivity and bad things that made it not pleasant to read but at the end it really changes my mind. Even thought the text was negative, the message was positive and helped me understand what the author was really trying to say. I feel this is related to logos because you have to really be open minded and have good logic skills to understand this meaning. I also feel this is related to gothisism and the underbelly of life. How everything bad always happens.
