“The story of an Hour” by kate Chopin

Kate Chopin the author of “The story of an Hour” demonstrates that the setting of the story has more significance rather then the ending. The setting of the story discusses important facts about the woman the author is trying to talk about. We learn a lot about Mrs. Millard and how she responds to the news of her husband’s death. The important facts that we learn of Mrs. Millard is that she is “young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (Chopin, 77). The author prepares the readers at the very beginning of the story that Mrs. Millard has heart trouble (Chopin, 77). The author also summarizes how the author feels to the unexpected news of the death of her husband. The setting unravels the ending therefore meaning that without the setting in the story the ending would have no meaning for the readers. I agree with the critics that Kate Chopin is the creator of clever plot twists. Kate introduces the readers to the character and leads us to an ending that is unexpected.
