The Story of an Hour

What I believe to be the true meaning of  "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. Mrs. Mallard and Mr. Mallard have been having marital issues. Mrs. Mallard believes her husband died in a train accident. At first she is upset and right away accepts that her husband is dead. She then goes to a quiet place to mourn and she is slowly dying. She welcomes death as she contemplates what she has to live for anymore, now that her husband has passed. She claims that she never really loved him and in the end you found out her name which is Louise because she was no longer considered Mrs. Mallard and therefore had no more ties to Mr. Mallard. As she was dying she whispered "free, free, free" because she is free from her duties as a wife, free from her loveless marriage, and free from the pain she has in her heart. In her last moments she realized that she no longer wanted to be seen as a possession belonging to someone else she wanted to be free. Then her husband Brently Mallard entered the house travel stained, carrying his grip-sack and umbrella. He had been far from the accident and was unaware that there even was one. He was most likely having an affair that is why he had a grip-sack on hand or travelled alone to have sometime away from his wife. During the moment he walked in Josephine made a cry and Richard shielded Brently from his wife as she died.
