From "The Story of an hour" by Kate Chopin is about Louise who is unhappy with her marriage and subsequently, her loss of independence.
Louise looks through an open window and stares at all the things which are unavailable to her such as freedom which she has since lost with the loss of her husband.
She looks through the open window and sees the sky and clouds, and hears birds singing.
The pair of words best supports the claim that the scene outside the window is a symbol of renewal are "Open" and "Life"
I think the reason why she told a lie instead of the truth was because she loves her husband with all of her heart and she would hate to see him perish.
