<span> A death has just occurred yet she sees signs of new life.
One would expect a much darker scene to set the tone for Mrs. Mallard's grief. However, instead of sorrow, Mrs. Mallard sees her chance for a new life, one free from her husband's. The new life is hers. A life where she gets to make the decisions and choose what she wants without having to think of another person.
