Hour Vs Interlopers

I have read 'The Story of an Hour' by Kate Chopin and 'The Interlopers' by Saki, and have noticed they both have a few elements in common with one another. The main character in The Story of an Hour is Louise Mallards, a fragile hearted woman who has been just told her husband died. While reading, you would think Mrs. Mallards would grieve and mourn over her husband's death but that's one of the twists in the story. Mrs. Mallards does grieve at least a little and feel awful for her husband, but she also saw his death as an opportunity to do the stuff she always wanted to do. Her husband’s death gave her freedom. The story continues about her fighting against the urge to feel happy since it's not a very happy situation. Chopin's doesn't give
Mallards decided she wants to be happy about her situation. Although she truly feels for her husband’s death she sees a free opportunity to do the stuff she's always wanted to do. 'There was a feverish triumph in her eyes, and she carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of Victory. (Chopin 11) I suppose what the author was saying was, when Louise walked out the room she felt as if she was a new person; a new woman. This showed she saw a light of freedom and was going to take it, just like The Interlopers. Ulrich and Georg both found each other in the forest confronting one another until they were both crushed by a tree stuck, forced to be together. They were both in very poor condition and struggled to escape their selves so they could be the first to either kill the other or rub it in the others' face but there was no use. After they both gave up they had no choice but to face the fact they were stuck and there was no killing anyone that day. After a while they talked and at the end started to ask why were they really fighting anyway, they couldn't come to any conclusion and called a treaty between one another promising not to kill the other when their men came to rescue them. In a way that's sort of them seeing a new light too, they both have a chance to attain about one another. The tree sort of FORCED them to bond, to see they were just doing what they thought was right or what they were
In the end of both stories, this is one of the BIGGEST elements both have in common. In The Story of an Hour as Louise walked down the stairs with the help of her sister Josephine, the door suddenly opened revealing her husband; Brently Mallard alive and well. Shocked to see him Louise cried in pain and when the doctors arrived, they said she had died of heart disease ending the story with, 'the joy that kills'(Chopin 12). It's ironic that the doctor says it was joy that killed her, but that has been a mix of situational and dramatic irony all in one. The dramatic irony has been not only her feeling happy at the end about her husband’s death, but her DYING from seeing he was alive, the situational part of the story was the doctor saying she died from joy but what they didn't know was, she died from the shock of seeing her 'dead' husband to actually be alive. And I believe that seeing her husband alive couldn't have been the one concept that caused her death, I suppose it easily pushed her to that state because of her having a fragile heart already, in the beginning of the story she has been already feeling all types of emotion such as grief, happiness and so on. In The Interlopers after Ulrich and Georg agreed to their terms to try to become friends and even shared a drink together with Ulrich's flask. They both worked together to cry for help, until 'There was silence again for some minutes,
