You have just finished a lesson that discussed the philosophical argument of Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour.” Her philosophical

argument was that men and women are equals but that society denies women their full humanity. Although this story was published more than 100 year ago, many people feel that women are still denied the full humanity granted to men. Describe how the story reveals her philosophical argument and explain whether or not you agree with her argument and why or why not.

There's plenty of evidence in the story that arguments her point of view. The irony in "Story of an hour" is a good example of how women were treated and expected to behave. She was thought to be depressed and sad about his husband's death but she's actually happy and cheerful about the good news of his death. Although she feels joyful, she can't understand her feelings because she knows she's not expected to feel that way. Another good example is the ending, everyone thinks she died because of joy at seeing his husband alive but in fact, she may have died from a heart attack because her happiness only lasted for an hour. Society's expectations and pressures on women are still a present issue. Beauty standards, gender roles, and the fashion industry are just a little few examples of how society shapes women's lives. Social media, propaganda and the fashion industry show women of a certain race, age and body type. They just stick the beauty standards and these tell women how they should be in order to have beauty, but it doesn't encourage them to love themselves as they are.

Another example is the thought that a woman without a husband is miserable and incomplete. Her family thinks that he's destroyed because her husband should be her whole world but actually she doesn't care about being lonely at all, she just thinks about her freedom. The society's pressure for getting married has changed a bit but it differs in many countries and societies. However, it is still a present issue that women are not taken seriously when they said they won't get married or have children. They are thought has selfish because of having a different perspective and plan for their lives different from the one everyone expects them to follow.

It is about society repressing women.This story is about a wife that feels like her husband is living her life for her, she feels like shes not living her own. Everybody expects her to feel a certain way about her husbands death but in reality she feels relieved because she is now able to be her own person & have freedom. I personally agree with the point given here.
