When Mrs. Mallard, the heroine of Kate Chopin's rThe Story of an Hour, is informed of her husband's untimely death in a railroad disaster, she retreats, after a fit of abandoned weeping in her sister's embrace, into the solitude of her room. Here, in the privacy that the room offers, she repeats, not the grief her sister and her husband's friend might expect of her, but the muffled words, free, free! Between the moment when her husband's death is announced to her and the instant of her own demise two pages later on seeing him walk through the door, alive and unaware of the train accident that was supposed to have killed him, Mrs. Mallard has lived an hour of liberation and dreamed an entire future of independence
