Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin

After reading all the stories my favorite one was "The Story of an Hour". I loved and enjoyed a lot reading this one because it was very ironic and unpredictable. I think that it was unpredictable because after she got the news that her husband had died she was shocked at the beggining but after she thought about it she was more than happy, she was free. As the story goes along she began to think that life will be a lot more better by herself without anybody telling you what you have to do or telling you if what you did is right or wrong. At the end she hears someone that knocks in her door, it was her husband. After this event happened I thought that she will be incredebly happy because he was there, but no it wasnt nothing like this it was something that no one will thought she died. The doctor said at the end that she died of a joy that kill. It is very ironic the use of the word “joy”, because it was joy that the character felt when she knew her husband was dead, and a great sadness that killed her when she saw her husband alive.
