Answer:
The main idea of 'The Story of an Hour ' by Cate Chopin is to seek freedom from confinement and constraints thrust upon a married woman by the institution called family in the name of marriage. To be loved is one thing but to be subjugated by the loved one is quite another. It is a state of compromise where from she seeks release to assert herself.
Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour” Louise Mallard seems to have lived the life of society’s “perfect wife.” When analysing the story from a feminist standpoint, it is clear that Louise Mallard is suffering from the oppression placed on her by society. In the present story, Kate Chopin describes precisely this reality of a woman attempting to assert her identity and selfhood in a male chauvinistic society.
