Two people who love each other make a marriage a promise of their love. Kate has shown us that love is not the only factor in deciding whether a couple will marry. Richards, Josephine and Josephine agree to tell Louise Mallard of Brently Mallard’s passing as accurately as possible under the circumstances. Josephine tells him that he is speaking in broken sentences and that there are hidden implications that were discovered midway through. This is his supposition that the unimaginable news will destroy Louise’s fragile heart. This story Louise’s increasing awareness of the freedom Brently will give her is a cover for something that is increasingly incomprehensible. This freedom is something she does not think about at first. Information flows to her in unspoken words, emblematically through the open window’ through her home.
Reiterating ‘open’ emphasizes the possibility and lack of limitations. This scene is full of expectation and vitality. The trees are brimming with life, the new source is life, and Louise can even hear someone singing. She can see the ‘blue skies patches’ between the clouds. These blue sky patches are not recorded by her. Chopin writes that Louise’s look was not reflective but that it indicated a suspension or intelligent thinking. Instead, the world presents’veiled insinuations.’ He joins them without even realizing it. Louise views the looming cognizance as ‘dreadful’ and opposes it. He is able to see the meaning of it, and then he attempts to conquer it. What makes Louise so happy? Louise seems so happy about her husband’s death. But, this is not quite accurate. She remembers Brently’s gentle and kind hands and the face that she was able to see with affection. You can begin to see the next opportunity when you are able to say ‘free’ over and over again. Recognition and feeling replace his dreadful and endless look. Chopin depicts Louise’s vision for self-assurance in one of her most important sections. Chopin points out that the idea of letting go isn’t so much about being totally responsible for yourself, your spouse or partner for years. She would take care of herself. She would not be able to bend her will in the same way that men and women think they can impose their wills on another creature. Louise does no list specific offenses Brently has committed. However, it seems that both can find marriage difficult.
Brently Mallard’s appearance in the final scene is completely normal. It’s a little stained by the trip. It appears that her shock wasn’t from joy over her husband’s survival but rather from anguish at his loss and for her newly found freedom. Louise briefly felt joy in the sense that she could now control her own destiny. He died because he lost that sense of joy.
