This story is kind of sad. Mrs. Mallard, although loved by her husband, is happy that he has died because she now feels free. She had thought that life had gotten to be long, but now looks forward to her freedom to do as she pleases when she pleases. Mrs. Mallard notices the trees and the birds singing. When she discovers her husband is alive she dies. Why? Is it because life just got way too long for her or because of the shock that he is alive after she had made plans for her future?
I can understand how she feels to some extent. I have often planned things to go one way and suddenly something comes up and it all has to change. I guess I would never be unhappy that someone was alive after thinking that they were dead - especially a spouse.
