I believe Professor Conway chose this as the first narrative in the course to help us grasp what individuals are capable of and what they can accomplish for our future. According to the final line, “men and women became aware for the first time of the desolation of their streets, the dryness of their courtyards, the narrowness of their dreams as they faced the splendor and beauty of their drowned man.” It shifts from sadness at the man’s death to excitement and admiration for his looks. After visualizing how their environment has changed, the villagers discuss what they would do differently in the future.

“The story of hour” by Kate Chopin is a brief yet strong investigation of a lady’s close to home excursion. After learning of her husband’s unexpected death, Mrs. Mallard at first responds with shock yet before long finds a recently discovered feeling of opportunity and self. She embraces the possibility of existence without her better half’s presence, just to have her expectations run when he suddenly gets back. The story dives into subjects of cultural assumptions, individual personality, and the intricacies of human feeling in a compact story.So anything can happen any time in life so we have to ready for everything. In Emily Dickinson’s poem”The wife,” the writer investigates the subject of cultural assumptions and the concealment of uniqueness. The poem tells the narrative of a lady who at first adjusts to the requests of a man yet in the long run understands the expense of forfeiting her personality and freedom to meet his prerequisites. Both the stories are similar They tell us the story of a 19th century marriage and the role of women. How women are treated at that time is shown. They both show the freedom, unfairness and independence in the marriage.
