Louise
Mallard is the protagonist of the story of an hour. The entire story is about
her preservation. Chopin portrays Mrs. Mallard as a woman who is in deep
suffering. She is not only suffering from a marriage she is not happy with, but
she is also suffering from her medical condition. As if she had not suffered
enough, she also puts a threat to her own life. We see this when Josephine is
knocking on her door while she refuses to open it (Chopin). What is unknown to
Josephine however is that her sister is in fact not suffering but savoring the moment. Order a custom paper
