Kate Chopin's Story of an Hour is a real eye opener! I had never read this story before and it totally caught me off guard when the husband walks through the door at the end! It's a twisted way to give a message, but that's exactly what it does. This short story is just screaming for women to live for themselves! Not entirely of course, marriage is important and a couple should be happy together, but simply not to be defined by a husband and live entirely for him. It's really quite tragic that she has to die after this realization, but I guess it's all part of the effect of the urgency of the message.
So live for yourselves ladies, and the fellas too! :) Live like Kate wants you to, "free, free, free."
