In “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin, adjective what best describes Mrs. Mallard is repressed.
Kate Chopin describe Mrs. Mallard as "Young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength." The lines on the face of Mrs. Mallard is described to indicate that she keeps many things inside her repressed. Mrs. Mallard doesn't give her feelings a free reign. Also, suffering from medical conditions, she puts her life to threat. We learn that she due to her marriage sufferings and is not optimistic about her married life. We learn this when she wishes for her life to be short, a night before the death of her husband. as an option to marriage, she would welcome her death gladly.
When Josephine inform Mrs. Mallard about the death of her husband we tend to observe her first reaction where she weeps into her sister’s arm and was hard to take. <em>“She wept at once, with sudden, wild abandonment, in her sister’s arms.”</em> In such grief she rushes off to her room to be alone, later it is observed that “But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.” And the reader sees something coming to her and speaks softly “free, free, free!.” This situation can be dramatic as only the reader knows the real feeling of Mrs. Mallard. On the other hand, other characters are not aware of her real feelings. She celebrates it and by the end, she is dead with a heartbreak, wherein, her husband receives the news of Louise's death.
Answer:
The meaning of this excerpt is:
A) The speaker believes that she and her peers ought to be in charge of assigning sentences in cases like Hester’s.
Explanation:
Hester Prynne is the main character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter", published in 1850. The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600s. <u>Hester has a child as a result of an affair, which leads to her being publicly humiliated. She is forced to wear a scarlet A in her chest, as a sign of her sin - adultery. Still, in the excerpt we are analyzing here, there are those who think of this as a light sentence. The woman who is speaking believes matters such as the one involving Hester should fall into her own hands and the hands of other pious women. They should be the ones punishing, choosing the sentence of women like Hester. </u>
