         <description><![CDATA[<div>Louise Mallard is an emotional, expressive women because of the way she showed her emotion towards her husband's death. Louise cries instantly instead of like other woman who would have reacted anesthetizing. "She did not hear the story as many woman have heard the same, with a paralyzing inability to accept its significance. She wept a once, with a sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister's arms."(Chopin, page 1)<br>Bently Mallard, as Louise remembers, is a kind, loving man but was also a harsh, oppressive factor in her life. "She knew 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[...]There would be no one to live for her during those coming years; she would live for herself."(Chopin, page 2)</div>]]></description>

         <title>Irony in &quot;The Story of an Hour&quot;</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In "The Story of an Hour" it says, "She did not hear the story as many woman have heard the same, with a paralyzing inability to accept its significance. She wept a once, with a sudden, wild abandonment," This situational irony is used when Louise Mallard reacted to her husband's death. To everyone in the house it seemed as she was heartbroken but, when she is her room, readers find out that she has a feeling of relief instead. Also, irony on page 3 says, "When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills." This shows that she did not die of happiness, it's the happiness that was taken away from her when she found out her husband was alive.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In "The Story of an Hour" it says, "Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble"(Chopin, page 1). This text shows the foreshadowing of Mrs. Mallard's death at the end of the story.<br>Foreshadowing also occurs in "The Story of an Hour" it says, "Some one was opening the front door with a latchkey." This shows the foreshadow that Mr. Mallard was coming home because there was no other character in the story that would have the house key. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In "The Story of an Hour" it says, "-as powerless as her white slender hands would have been.". This imagery shows the weakness Louise had. Another example, it says "There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window." This imagery shows the amount of focus Mrs. Mallard had as she was looking out the window.</div>]]></description>
