Kate Chopin- The Story of an Hour

The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin was an interesting story to read.  It was about a woman who's husband who had just died and how she reacted to it.  She was very happy that her husband had died because she could now do whatever she wanted.  To me, this was weird because though she has a just reason to be happy for her husband's death, she should still take a couple days to grieve.  Josephine just went straight to being happy which was wrong.  At the beginning of the book, I thought she was crazy because she started to talk to herself and repeat the words free.  I liked the character Josephine mostly because my middle name but also because she wasn't afraid to say how she really felt. I liked the short story though because the ending was really unexpected.   If I was a woman in the 19th century, I don't think that I would be happy that I could do whatever I wanted because I would have to do everything my self and I wouldn't know how to do anything.  People would have been doing everything for me and I wouldn't even know how to cook.
