    THE STORY OF AN HOUR ACTIVITY

    1. Why does Mrs. Mallard really die?


    R// She die because she was excited to see her husband alive, at that moment
    she had no hopes to see him again and when he go through the door is like
    coming back to life, but unfortunately for her that joy killed her.
    2. How do you think Mr. Mallard would feel if he knew what his wife really
    felt?
    R// He would feel worried because he knows her heart condition and he would
    know that that kind of new will get her worst, he can also feel guilty because if
    something happens to her he will the reason of it.
    3. Do you believe Chopin is trying to make some grand assertion about fate
    or free will with the ending of the story? If so, what is it?
    R// Yes, I think Chopin is trying to show that Louise was feeling happy because
    for the first time in her life she feet free, although she loves her husband the
    idea of freedom just made her feel excited.
    4. Do you feel pity for any of the characters? Which ones, and why?
    R// I feel pity for Mrs. Mallard because in her reaction I can interpret some
    nonconformity with her marriage, although it seem that she loves her husband
    I feel stronger the feeling of happiness with the new of the death. It is like if she
    was waiting for that moment to arrive to feel free and do what she want
    without having someone to control her.
    5. Can a person really die of shock? Of happiness? Of grief?
    R// Yes, a person can really die for those reasons, mostly if they have heart
    trouble like Mr. Mallard. You can die of grief because you can get deanimated
    and that cant take you serious health problems and you can die of happiness
    because some feeling caused by extreme surprises can affect your heart.
    6. If you were going to write some fan fiction inspired by "The Story of an
    Hour," how would you do it? Which characters would you explore? How
    would you imagine the personalities of Richards, Josephine, and Mr.
    Mallard? What would be the back-story behind Mr. and Mrs. Mallard's
    marriage?
    R//I would add a little more mystery to the story, not going directly to the
    disaster but creating confusion in the characters. I would explore Mr. Mallard. I
    would imagine Richard like someone who create tension in the story. Josephine
    like someone patient and positive that gives hope to Mrs. Mallard and finally Mr.
    Mallard like someone cold, taking everything with calm and not getting alarmed
    by the inconvenient. The background I would use could be that their marriage
    wasnt a good relationship, although they love each other the were together by
    commitment and no one would be really sentimentally affected if something
    happened the other, I would use Mrs. Mallard as someone materialistic that is
    more interested in things that in love.
