For this paper I decided to compare and contrast Louise Mallard from The Story of an Hour and Mattie Silver from Ethan Frome. I thought these two would be easy to compare and contrast since they’re both love stories and take place in different settings. The first person I want to look at is Louise Mallard. In the story she finds out that her husband has been in an accident and is dead from her sister. This shows that her family cares about her, especially since they were more worried about Louise’s…

in the stories were similar in personality, because, they both cared about their stories, both were also women. The stories were similar in themselves because they both show the struggle that female authors went through in that time period trying to publish a book or novel.

The Forbidden Joy I enjoyed this story,I felt as Mrs. Mallard was a victim of her inability to control her own life in a repressive male controlling society. She had every right to feel this way.The heart trouble that causes suffering to Mrs. Mallard is both a physical and symbolic illness that represents her indecisiveness toward her marriage and unhappiness with her lack of freedom.
