This article delves into Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," examining its portrayal of 19th-century gender norms, particularly the restricted role of women as devoted housewives. The protagonist, Louise Mallard, challenges societal expectations when she unexpectedly welcomes her husband's death as a liberation from marital constraints. Drawing parallels with Charlotte Perkins' "The Yellow Wallpaper," the narrative underscores the oppressive impact of traditional gender roles on women's mental health. Chopin employs literary devices such as foreshadowing, simile, personification, metaphor, and alliteration to craft a nuanced exploration of marriage, domesticity, and individual freedom. Set against the backdrop of Victorian social standards, the story subtly critiques the confines of matrimony, urging readers to reflect on self-determination. The analysis emphasizes the story's relevance in contemporary literature as a classic feminist work.
