"The Story of an Hour," is a short story written by Kate Chopin on April 19, 1894. It was
originally published in Vogue on December 6, 1894, as "The Dream of an Hour". It was later
reprinted in St. Louis Life on January 5, 1895, as "The Story of an Hour".
The title of the short story refers to the time elapsed between the moments at which the
protagonist, Louise Mallard, hears that her husband is dead, and when she discovers that he
is alive after all. Featuring a female protagonist who feels liberation at the news of her
husband's death, "The Story of an Hour" was controversial by American standards of the
1890s. In Unveiling Kate Chopin, Emily Tothargues that Chopin "had to have her heroine die"
in order to make the story publishable".[2] (The "heroine" dies when she sees her husband
alive after he was thought to be dead.)
"The Story of an Hour" follows Louise Mallard as she deals with the news of her husband's
death. When the news is broken to her, Mrs. Mallard begins weeping into her sister,
Josephine's, arms. She then goes to her room to be alone and sits down in an armchair. She
finds she feels relieved that she is free of her husband. She begins looking forward to living
her life for herself. Mrs. Mallard keeps whispering to herself, "Free! Body and soul free!" and
as Josephine listens in to her sister from the other side of the door, she feels tells Louise to
open the door.
After a few minutes, Mrs. Mallard gets out of her chair and opens the door for Josephine and
they both walk downstairs together. Upon arriving to the bottom of the staircase, the front
door opens and Mrs. Mallard's husband, Brently Mallard, appears, alive and well. Josephine
and Richards try to hide the sight from Louise, but it is too late. When she sees that her
husband is still alive, she lets out a startled cry and dies from a heart attack.
