On the other hand when I finished reading “The Story of an Hour” I was shocked and confused. I didn’t understand the death of Mrs. Millard. I think the author could have elaborated more on her death. The ending of the story didn’t make me happy like “Clever Manka.” It made me sad that seeing her husband alive has caused her to die.
