The story of an hour by Kate Chopin, In my opinion, Mrs.Mallards quest is described as finding her joy/happiness in life. Something that completes her, while she is on her last leg in life. In search of doing so, she must also cope with the news of her husbands death. During her quest to find fulfillment, she leans to the idea that she is free. Mrs.Mallard didn’t process the full understanding that she is free until she gazed upon the outside world, from her bed room. The idea and reinforcing thoughts that possessed her to believe that she is free actually had a pressing confirmation in her soul. “Free, free, free!” The vacant look after she processed those thoughts was followed by terror. By that time, she knew she had reached a point in her life of complete confusion, but at the same time, a comprehension of why she is free. She seen the years ahead that would wait for her, yet, she welcomed them in early, along with the emotional attachments that came with them. At this point in her quest, she realize that she doesn’t have any one to live for but herself. In her mind she still loved him.
