Explanation:
Frank B. Kellogg and Aristide Briand were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1930 for their work in establishing the Kellogg–Briand Pact where signatories agreed to negotiate rather than resort to war to settle disputes.
In Kellogg's acceptance speech, he spoke of those who believed that a super tribunal was necessary to punish those who act against peace because he wanted to acknowledge that there were those with alternative perspectives from him on how to achieve peace.

Answer and explanation:
Note: I'm writing according to my responses while I read the story. Feel free to change anything to make it true for yourself.
Unlike readers at the time when the story was published, I've found it amusing and intelligent. At first, I assumed Mrs. Mallard would be another simple, shallow, tragic character. Her reaction after hearing of her husband's presumed death seemed quite normal, since she looked devastated. For an instant I thought she would die from her heart condition even though her sister and friend were careful while giving her the news. However, to my delight and surprise, Mrs. Mallard finds enlightenment at that sad moment. Her house and her husband have meant confinement for her. She has been obedient, submissive, impotent her whole life. As she locked her bedroom door, I thought she wouldn't know what to do without Mr. Mallard. But she looked out the window, saw the beautiful world that did not stop existing due to her husband's death, and realized she was finally free. The story suddenly got a thousand times more interesting. This woman, this seemingly shallow character, is actually deep and colorful. She has a will to live that had been buried. Now that the main symbol of her oppression as a woman is gone, she is at liberty to feel, think, and do as she pleases. It was comically tragic when she indeed died of her heart condition upon finding out her husband was alive. I hoped the story would end with Mrs. Mallard leaving the house and heading towards her new life. Still, the irony of the situation is amusing. Other characters assumed she died of happiness when we, the readers, know she died of disappointment.
