Answer:

Iron Maiden's reference to the line from Shakespeare's play is an example of:

B. literary allusion.

Explanation:

The figure of speech known as allusion happens when an author references to something or someone, but in an indirect manner. For instance, suppose you are writing an essay about kindness and selflessness. If you call someone a good Samaritan, you are alluding to a biblical character known for his kindness. When making an allusion, just like that one, the author expects the reader or listener to know what he is talking about. You do not explain what a good Samaritan is, since you expect your readers to know about the biblical story.

That is what we have in Iron Maiden's song: a literary allusion. The composer of the lyrics used lines from Shakespeare's play, from a literary work. He does not explain them, but he expects his listeners to know what he is referencing to.

Explanation:

"The Story of an Hour," is a short story written by Kate Chopin (1894).

This story is about a woman Mrs. Mallard who found out that her husband is dead. She was sad at first, but then she felt happy. She didn't fear the death of her husband, but she was filled with glee and joy. Later, she found out her husband is alive, and she died from heart disease.

As for your questions:

What is it?

At the beginning of the 8th paragraph, Mrs. Mallard senses “something coming to her.” This something was freedom - "She said it over and over under the breath: "free, free, free!"

What effect physically does it have on her?

Mrs. Mallard felt she was free from her husband, she enjoyed the imagining herself in control of her life; it was her reaction after being freed from marriage. But when she found out that her husband is alive, her heart could not stand it. Mrs. Mallard had a sense of freedom for an hour, but that was taken away from her, her heart was unable to lose freedom again, and she died.

I hope it helped you :)
