"Story of an Hour"

Before I even read this story I was thinking it was going to talk about someone greatest story maybe about winning something or there hour of victory and fame. I started reading this short story and almost had tears. The paragraph "It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences; veiled hints that revealed in half concealing. Her husband's friend Richards was there, too, near her. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard's name leading the list of "killed." He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram, and had hastened to forestall any less careful, less tender friend in bearing the sad message. " These sentances made me sad. It was so slow and it almost gets you thinking that anything could happen to your loved ones at any second you could be Mrs. Mallard.
After that feeling came confusion. Mrs. Mallard just seemed to be crying out of sadness but as it appears later she is crying cause she is happy and free. She says in the fourteenth paragraph ,"Free! Body and soul free! she kept whispering". When she said that it was kind of shocking. It was shocking because, normally people don't cry and say free when a loved one dies.
Than finally the ending was so sudden. When it ended my reaction was, "wow, OK i guess that's it". Don't get me wrong, I am not saying it was a bad story. My opinion it had a very strong ending but it was juts kind of abrupt. Overall i really enjoyed reading this short story!
