“Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin – Character

A dynamic char turner is a major character in a work of fiction that encounters conflict and is changed by it. In The Story of an hr by Kate Chopin, the emotional pattern and thought process of Louise Mallard subsequently she is informed of her husbands death are explored. Over the race of the hour in which the score takes place Louise has a acknowledgment near the constraints she feels in her breeding and in her marriage. By delineating Louise as a bland and dynamic character, Chopin is capable to convey her theme that real dischargedom is embed in death.Over the course of the story, all the characters are left over(p) as more or less flat and undeveloped. Louise is simply described as a young charr with a fair, clam face whose lines bespoke repression and even a sealed strength (paragraph 8) and that was suffering from a heart condition. When the death of her husband, Brently, is revealed her immediate answer was that of despair. After weeping shortly with wild aban donment, Louise retreated to her direction in order to collapse in solitude (paragraph 3 and 4). The tragic realization and emotional exhaustion eventually leads Louise to a realization of freedom.By whispering free, free, free (paragraph 11) under her breath and not over thinking the feeling she had, Louise was able to embrace the joy with open arms she discovered in her new freedom. Although she knew that she would be torn apart at the sight of the face that had never looked save with love upon her (paragraph 12) as a corpse, Louise welcomed the oncoming years pass in devotion to her own desires. This shift in position on death motivates Louise to realize that Brentlys death should not be dwelled on with sorrow. Motivation is a sufficient reason for a character to act the way they do.Louises motivation for living a liberated breeding comes through the open windowpane. Through nature, Chopin provides Louise with purpose. For example, while being described, the upstairs room is left with the simplistic depiction that it has only a single wide armchair. When her husband is no longer there to restrict her potential, the house, which was once her cage, in the end opens up to the outside world. With the breath of rain in the air and the channelize tops bursting with life (paragraph four), Louise begins her journey to her conclusion.Even though the visualization of nature, Louise is competent tolerable to grasp that her love for Brently could not compare to the possession of self-assertion which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being (paragraph fifteen). Soon enough she had most forgotten her departed lover and was drinking in an elixir of life through that open window (paragraph eighteen). After the inhalation of submission, Louise carried herself unwittingly corresponding a goddess of Victory (paragraph twenty) down the stairs.In doing so, the once emotionally unstable and physically ailed woman with white slender hands (paragrap h ten) was able to prepare for a life without discretion or restrictions. The development of Louise only seized due to her preexistent medical condition claiming her life. However this motivation is what caused Louise to act in the shipway she did and refined the theme. The development of character in The Story of an Hour is left stagnant. Having a flat main character allows the reader to identify with the story on a level of understanding separate from that of any review character.Although the reader is inserted into Louises mind, an entirely understood background for her is missing. In doing so a void is made in which the reader can constitute themselves into the characters shoes to barely comprehend the exact emotions of Louise during the hour. This further expands the understanding of theme because as Louise remains in front of the window with her arms spread welcoming the years to come, since she is left lacking in detail, the reader can jump into her place they can shed rupture with her or drink the elixir of life with her.The theme that death is the eventual(prenominal) release from constraint is understood in the story due to Chopins development of Louise as a flat and dynamic character. While company and love are significantly important aspects of life, Chopin was able to demonstrate that Louise was rhapsodic only when she realized the new way she could live her life. After all, the Greek historian Thucydides once said, the secret of happiness is freedom. Works Cited Kennedy, XJ and Dana Gioia. Literature, An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, shimmer and Writing.
