previously it was mentioned that there is nothing in this story that defines that mrs. mallard had a difficult marriage. the reader only comes to this conclusion based on what is said and described in the story. in one research article titled fatal self-assertion in kate chopin's the story of an hour, berkove states that this story is simply about louise mallard. berkove enforces what the reader should be able to determine from reading this short story, that it is never defined that mrs. mallard is truly unhappy in her marriage or in her life in society. the reader watches the struggle of mrs. mallard realizing her husband is dead and finding self-assertion in such a short amount of time. however, at the end of the story, the reader learns that brently mallard is not dead and that mrs. mallard is not a widow. suddenly, mrs. mallard shrieks, and the reader learns that she has died "...of heart disease—of joy that kills." the reader is left wondering about the joy that killed mrs. mallard, was it that she is happy that her husband was in fact still alive or was it in terror that she felt free and is in fact not free because her husband is standing before her. as mentioned in the article emotions in the story of an hour, the reader could assume that mrs. mallard's death is "...a sign of a woman who has unconsciously surrendered her heart (i.e., her identity as an individual) to the culture of paternalism" (jamil). the reader is never told why she dies, but it can only be assumed that she died from surrendering her heart to a life of being an individual and finding her own happiness as a widow.
