Love and FreedomThe Story of an Hour was published in 1894. It was considered controversial during the 1980s because it deals with a female protagonist who feels liberated by the news of her husband’s death. (Wikipedia, 2015) The impact of the novel on the feminist is powerful and impressive. This controversial novel encourages many housewives who live in the male-dominated family to fight for their own freedom. After careful reading of the text, the author, decide to address this subject in 3 parts: I. the viewpoint of marriage is “the grave of love”, II. explain the problem that Mrs. Mallard encountered in her marriage, III. The ways to keep couples’ love alive.II think that marriage is “the grave of love”. With time goes by, the romance and fervour of love will become uninteresting and insipid between the couples, and actually, marriage is a magnifier which can amplify the defect of the love. Marriage adds a lot of burden and duty that the couples can not beat it. Many sweethearts cannot change their role after they got married because they are irresponsible for each other.(Leng Ning, 2010) Marriage is also a system which protects the couples. It is a demand of the social and statute instead of a feeling of the lovers. What’s more, marriage is a pressure which restricts both sides of the couples. Any way, a good marriage base on the sublimation of the love and family bond, and a bad marriage can make the couple divorce and say goodbye to each other. In fact, both good marriage and bad marriage, they make love disappeared.Above is my individual viewpoint only. Personally speaking, I think The Story of an Hour also shows us the point that marriage is “the grave of love”. Mrs. Mallard “wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.” (Kate Chopin, 1894) This sentence shows that Mrs. Mallard loves her husband very much that she can’t accept the fact of her husband’s death from the start. But after a period of time, she begins to feel liberate. “She said it over and over under her breath:’ Free, free, free!’” (Kate Chopin, 1894) That means she doesn’t have freedom before, her marriage makes a big bonds to her that she feels unhappy in her marriage actually. Mrs. Mallard and her husband love each other and after they get married,the marriage becomes a bond and she starts to encounter in her marriage.IIThe problem is the conflict between the desire of the female’s real freedom and independent and the fact of the male-dominated society. After Mrs. Mallard heard the news of her husband’s death, she goes away to her room and the window through which she looks in is a very beautiful and peaceful sight:” in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air.”(Kate Chopin, 1894) It’s strange because no one could see such beautiful sceneries like this after hearing the death news. But she did it. In fact, the new spring life is a symbolism which symbolizes a new life of Mrs. Mallard after she lost her husband. And the delicious breath of rain shows that Mrs. Mallard was in a good mood at that time. “There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled above the other in the west facing her window.”(Kate Chopin, 1894)“She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength.”(Kate Chopin, 1894) This sentence describes the appearance of Mrs. Mallard. She is a beautiful but unhappy lady. Does her husband love her? Actually the answer is yes. “The face that looked save with love upon her.”(Kate Chopin, 1894) That means her husband loves her very much. In fact, however, Mrs. Mallard thinks it is a yoke for her. She considers the marriage as a bond which suffers her a lot.”’Free! Body and soul free!’she kept whispering.”(Kate Chopin, 1894)She is really eager for her own freedom; however, in the male-dominated family and society, her desire is difficult to come true.IIIIn 21st century, the feminism is now swept around the world; more and more females advocate their own rights and freedom to fight against the male-dominated society. So, if the couple wants to keep the love alive, there are three ways to do. The first thing is to be independent and give freedom to each other. It is a wrong thought that wife should obey husband because of the absolute power of the male. No one wants to be this female protagonist in The Story of an Hour who seeks for her liberty but dead of the disillusionedillusion. The second way is to communicate to each other. People across belly, no one can understand what you want if you never communicate to others. Poor communication will make the couple become silent and depressive. In The Story of an Hour, Mrs. Mallard feels unhappy in her marriage, one of the reasons is that she never communicates to her husband because of the male-dominated family. Last but not least, they should find the advantages and bear with each other. As the part I said, marriage is a magnifier which can amplify the defect of the love. But finding the advantages can keep out the shortcomings and make the couples calm down.References:Kate Chopin.
