Answer: C. female autonomy and independence

Explanation: The whole plot is driven by the effect that the protagonist's psyche has on her physical heart: grief for her husband's death is superficial and quickly disappears, giving place to the growing revelation that she would have her autonomy and independence back after several years of oppression. Autonomy and independence are so important to her that she dies of a heart attack when realizing that her husband was still alive.
