The author develops this theme by telling it in third person point of view. During the time Mrs. Mallard was alive she did could not do what she wanted to do. She had to be a housewife and take care of their children. Her husband was allowed to live his life however he wanted. Mrs. Mallard was controlled by Brently and was unable to do what she wanted to do because of him. She was basically property to him. So, be thankful that you have the choice to what you want to do in life and are able to do it without anyone controlling you.

"Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door-you will make yourself ill. What are you doing. Louise? For heaven's sake open the door." Is an example of foreshadowing because she is giving off a hint that Louise is going to become ill. Then when she comes out she sees her husband and has a hard attack instead of her not being ill.

"Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the new of her husband's death" Is foreshadowing because it is saying to be gentle with her or else she can die. It gives a warning to let us know for when she dies that it was more than just a heart attack.

"Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey. It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained, composedly carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood amazed at Josephine's piercing cry; at Richards' quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife. But Richards was too late. When the doctors came that said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills."

This piece of imagery is significant because when Louise dies it shows how shocked she was, and how disappointed she felt from seeing her husband come in. Josephine knew Louise was crying because she was free. That is why she gave a piercing cry to try to get him to leave or just block him out of Louise's sight so her heart would not be troubled.

"She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome."

This piece of imagery is significant to the story, because when she opens her arms out to welcome them in she is accepting her husbands death and ready to start her own life. She thought she would weep when she saw him in the coffin, but once she thought about everything he has put her through she does not feel sad about his death as much anymore.

When Louise says "free, free, free!" she is realizing that her life will never be the same again now that her husband is gone. She uses that symbolism to show that she is free and can start her life instead of being controlled and empowered by her husband.

When the doctors said that she died of "heart disease- of joy that kills" it uses symbolism to show that the doctors do not actually know what she felt like. She died from a heart attack because the moment she saw her husband she realized that her life had just ended, that she would never be free and forever stay in his control. Her heart sunk and it just shocked her so much that she would not be able to live the life she had just planned.

The main conflict of "The Story of an Hour" is between Louise and her thoughts. Louise is realizing that she is free now that her husband has passed, and she is now seeing that she can finally start her own life and choose how she wants to live it. "And yet she had loved him-sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in the face of this possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!" Louise is finally realizing that she is no longer being controlled. She is starting her new life and is very happy about it.

In "The Story of an Hour" there is no major conflict that is stated, but there is a very light interaction with nature. The author says "Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own." It shows that Louise is realizing that she would not have a person that she had to listen to anymore, that she would finally be free.

In "The Story of an Hour" a tiny conflict that happens is when Louise does not open the door for Josephine. "Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole, imploring for admission. "Louise open the door! I beg; open the door- you will make yourself ill." Josephine wants her to open the door but Louise is no wanting to because she is fine. However, Josephine thinks that she needs comfort and support.

Since Brently is being described with indirect characterization the author shows us that he is not treating his wife well, and is a bad husband. "She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked save with love upon her..." Shows that the husband either did not show her love, or did not show her enough love. "When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: "free, free, free! The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes." It shows that Brently was holding her hostage in a way. She couldn't be free because of Brently.

Since Louise is being told with indirect characterization we can see that Louise is traumatized from something that has happened while her husband was alive. "And yet she had loved him- sometimes. Often she had not."  The author saying that shows that something had to be going wrong for her not to love her husband. "Free! Body and soul free!" Louise was whispering to herself" shows us that she was feeling like she was not free when her husband was around.
