The Story of an Hour

The Story of an Hour and paragraph five relate as if the writer is foreshadowing what will become of the woman and her future. It is to show you how she is feeling. It was if heaven was calling her home. As if a higher power is hinting to her what is to come next for her in life. " The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves." Chopin (193)

" She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams." Chopin (193) When something so life changing happens, there is nothing that can console a person. She was speechless. Mrs. Mallard was at a loss of words

"Free! Body and soul free!" Chopin (193) Mrs. Mallard had realized she was free again. She was free from all her fears. She had lived her life. Mrs. Mallard could finally hang her hat up knowing she was free again!
