Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it”. – C.S. Lewis
This quote relates to “The story of hour” as i take this story for my essay. In the story married woman husband death taken suddenly at first she was very sad about that but after some time she realize that now she his free from all the marriage rituals now she can do whatever she want to do now she don’t have to follow somone rules. However now women are free to chose whateveer they want they have to stay at home or not but before they can’t leave home they are not allowed to do work. So it not right they also have there life whatever they want they can do it now. “Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it”. – C.S. Lewis it tells the reality of life but it not describe what they going from.
One thought on “Jainil trivedi Discussion 5”
Hi Jainil ,great point I really find she is more about material stuff. This story is more about human emotions ,particularly cultural ,societal expectations. In “The Story of an Hour” highlights the desires of women in society ,shedding light on constraints they face. When Mrs ,Mallard recieved the news of her husband death she experience a sense of freedom only to have her hope dash in her face when she discovered he was alive.
