In 'The Story of an Hour' by Kate Chopin:

  • The title of the short story refers to the time elapsed between the moments at which the protagonist, Louise Mallard,  hears that her husband, Brently Mallard, is dead, and consequently, discovers that he is alive after all.
  • The freedom and joy that Louise gains in one hour after her husband’s death is quickly lost at the sight of her husband, still alive. She then loses all her dreams and aspirations.
  • Within that hour, though, she has a glimpse of her life free from the restrictions that her husband had imposed on her.
  • The introspection towards life and independence takes place in one hour, at the end of which Louise meets her sudden death.
