"The Story of An Hour"

“The Story of an Hour” is the story of an hour in the life of Mrs. Louise Mallard. As the story begins, the narrator reveals that Mrs. Mallard has heart trouble. Her sister Josephine and her husband’s friend Richards come to her after the death of Mr. Mallard. Mrs. Mallard freaks out and holds up in her room. Louise begins to think that she is happy about her husbands death but suppresses the thought. Once Mrs. Mallard accepts the feeling, she is happy that she will never have to listen to him again. In the end Mr. Mallard walks in the front door. He had been no where near the accident scene. The short story ends with the abrupt death of Mrs. Mallard, whose heart gives out.

I found this story to have a pointless plot setup and I found it hard to enjoy. The story does not have a real meaning or message to it but it is merely a short story. Also to me it seemed a bit unrealistic that Mrs. Mallard found so much joy in her husbands death that she died when she realized he was alive.
