The story of an hour

After I read, analyze and find the key elements of this short story I can wrote down a few personal reflections of this great and suspense short story. Firs of all, I like this particular short story because kept me all the way long in suspense. Also because I hate long stories, dramas and poems.

I think this story mention a very important point in all marriages of all times. This point or situation is the oppression of men for women or the mistreat and violence in the marriage and the women rights. Like we all know this can’t happened in any marriage because marriage means, bring, give and receive love, not to gave orders and violence. Certainly I don’t expect the outcome or the end of the story and also I never thought that Mrs.Mallard would die in that way she does. In conclusion, my opinion about this short story teaches us the important values that should have every marriage in the society.
