How much happens in an hour....

This short story "The Story of An Hour" is quite creative because it is about the things that happen in one hour.  Mrs. Mallard has heart sickness and everyone seems to sneak around her and treats her kind and with great caution.  Many people find out that her husband died and wait a little while to tell her.  Once they do Mrs. Mallard stays in her room, shuts the door, and bawls her eyes out.  In the midst of crying she has an epiphany and realizes that she is "free".  She does miss her husband, but now she has the freedom to do what she pleases.  The truth of the matter is Mr. Mallard isn't even dead.  So when he walks in the room where his wife is she is suddenly in shock, and dies.  I think this story is freaky because when your significant other dies or even if you think of them dying normally not one ounce of happiness is inside of you.  One would normally be devastated because you love your spouse a great deal.  This woman becomes happy all of a sudden.  This tells me that the relationship between the two was horrible and that Mrs. Mallard dreads her husband's presence.  Being a story about feminism I would assume that his wife is happy because she can finally be more than a normal wife and can achieve great things.  At the end it says “When the doctors came they said she died of heart disease--of the joy that kills.”  I think this important because she died of shock that her husband was alive.  This death was definitely not one of extreme joy, it was one of extreme disappointment or horror.  My question now is how does her husband feel about his wife’s death?  His wife was overjoyed about the idea of her husband being dead.  Will he feel the same way?
