The Story Of An Hour
by Kate Chopin
I'd only heard of Kate Chopin as an early New Orleans writer, and that seems to come through noticeably in her writing, in the pervasiveness of taking it easy. While I enjoyed her (astonishingly short) story 'The Story of an Hour', I didn't entirely 'get' it; I preferred the other stories in this collection, which were given more room to create atmosphere and setting.
Although the title story packs more punch, it does so at the expense of other aspects, which detracts from her point - if readers cannot imagine the characters, it is much more difficult to empathize with their story, and without an interest in the characters, the moral punch will be reduced proportionally.
