In the time referred in this story “The Story of an Hour” and the poem “The Wife”, the 19th century, women where more seen as property and house maids rather than someone cherish and hold. It is apparent in both and story and poem they show the thought process and being a women during those time, and having a husband. In the poem the “The Wife” I interrupt it as, although a wife has her own life and accomplishments they will always been overlooked and seen as something little, especially without a husband. However, when I comes to men or husbands wives are seen as accessories and shall just be there, not because can do more, only to up value him in a way. Wives rarely have a say, and only really do for and serve their husbands. Relative to “The Story of an Hour”, Louis Mallard thought her husband was dead after bad accident at work. After her “grieving” process she sought opportunity that she thought she could’ve never done before his supposed “death”, once she found out he was very much alive, her heart condition took her life, and she died with the unfulfilled dream that was to be without a husband and have a world of other opportunities.
