Hello good afternoon,
The theme of the Emily Dickinson Poem “The Wife” relate to Mrs, Mallard’s emotional state in “The story of an hour” is by showing the emotional state of how Mrs. Mallard felt sad, but also happy of the newfound freedom, which show’s how before in the older years women’s did not really have freedom. As in the Poem of Emily Dickinson “the wife” the first quote says, She rose to his requirement meaning that she had to focus and mostly obey what he says. from this quote we can see that a women didn’t not have the word, to do what they wanted. Another quote is to take her honorable work of woman and wive, which for me means that she loses her rights her honor, to become her husbands women and wife, also like maid, because she has to dedicate her time, her work her rights for him. This is how I believe that the them of Emily Dickinson Poem “the wife relates to Mrs, Mallard emotional state in “the story of an hour” because of her loss of joy of been free at the end of the story.
