I read this short story. The story of an hour which took few mins to read. A woman thinking of her future when she hear her husband died. I cannot understand the end of it really. I think I should read again
I wish I’d taken a lesson at 17 when I read this and never gave up my control of my life in a marriage. Things change, and yet they stay the same.
This is a really excellent short story about a woman's feelings about her marriage. Chopin was vastly ahead of her time in how she wrote about women and their relationships to men and expectations of them. A really short short story that really packs a punch.
I read The Story of an Hour way back in my A-levels, but reread just now.
I don't remember it being quite so funny. Maybe it's really not funny but I have a twisted sense of comedy.
Imagine hating your husband so much that you die when you find out he's actually alive and not killed in a railway accident like you hoped!!

This was really good, but I'm mad at how it ends... :(
“And yet she had loved him—sometimes. Often she had not.”
It's a short story about a woman receiving the news of her husband's death. Her reaction is unexpected; the book’s ending—even more so.
