Anything: Blog Post # 2

I really liked "The Story of an Hour" because of how many different interpretations there could have been about Louise's, the main character, death and strange feelings.

On one hand, she could have been a very uncaring character who was selfish enough to praise her husbands death so she could be "free".

Or she could have been having a really rough marriage and knew there was no way out so she was content until she realized she didn't have to be content anymore becuase her husband was dead and she was now free.

Or....

As our class discussion on the short story shows, there are so many different ways to interpretate what happened to Louise. We all got a chance to have our own opinions about the story because there was no "right" answer. We all got to decide what really happened.

I love stories like that.

  2. I like your explanation of this as well. Instead of just stating your own personal interpretation you showed the other possible sides.
