Who Is Louise Mallard A Sympathetic Character
Assignment 1
Interpreting: The Story of an Hour
After reading the Story of an Hour, I concluded that Louise Mallard is a sympathetic character. I am not sure sympathetic is the best word to describe her. Perhaps caring or considerate would be a more exact word. She is also a little self-centered. Her feeling may be unpredictable but they show signs of a caring and compassionate individual. Louise’s happiness does not come from Brently’s dead; her happiness comes from being separated from someone she does not enjoy being around. She did not rejoice in his death, therefore, she is should not be seen as callous or evil. Kate Chopin tells use in paragraph thirteen with the words “kind, tender hands” that he did not physically mistreat
