“Story of an Hour” Does sadness turns you into a different person? The only concept that i learned from “story of an Hour” is that people may change when the find out that a loved one has pass away. Sadness turns you into a different person, your personality changes, it makes you feel sad, lonely, and sometimes angry. Experiencing the loss of someone makes you feel sad. In the story of an hour Josephine, Richard and Mrs. Mallard they were feeling sad because they found out that Mr. Mallard was killed in an accident (he didn’t die). In the book it said ”there stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. In this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul” right …show more content…
In the story Mrs.Mallard lock herself in her room so that no one would bother her. In the book it said “ when the storm of grief had spent itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one to follow her.” this is when Mrs.Mallard wanted feeling lonely. When you are feeling sad you want to be all by yourself, that's what Mrs.Mallard did. Sometimes people get angry when they are sad. In the story mrs.mallard got angry at her sister but at the same time she was feeling sad in side. In the story Josephine( Mrs Mallard’s sister) told to her sister to open the door and mrs.mallard response was “go away. I am not making myself ill.” for me this sounded like if Mrs.Mallard was angry at her sister. People can experience anger even when they are sad. When someone finds out that a person precious to them has passed away they start transforming into a different person. They start feeling many different emotions such as sadness, loneliness, and anger. In the story of an hour, Mrs.Mallard felt all of these feelings because her husband died. When she felt sadness she started to feel depressed, when she felt loneliness she lock herself in her room and she didn't wanted to be interrupt. Also she felt anger, when her sister said to her if she’s okay Mrs.Mallard responded with a bad attitude ( in my opinion). This concludes that a person changes when someone precious to them has passed away, they are not the same
