At first, she was very traumatized and distressed. When she heard the news, she wept at once. She went to her room to contemplate the terrible news she had just received. While she was resting on a chair, she was overcome by a strange feeling that was going to "possess" her. She was telling herself that she was finally free. She felt that women have always been oppressed men.  The story states "Her pulses beat fast, and
the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body." ( Chopin pg 2) And then the husband showed back up, and then she had a heart attack. 3]]> 2019-12-17 20:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/juancarlos_lara/1hgcwlsrxvvh/wish/425224256 juancarlos_lara https://padlet.com/juancarlos_lara/1hgcwlsrxvvh/wish/425229701 Mrs. Mallard - Protagonist
