\u201cIf aught she missed in her new day<\/p>\n
Of amplitude, or awe,<\/p>\n
Or first prospective, or the gold<\/p>\n
In using wore away\u201d<\/p>\n
Mrs. Mallard, in fact, is full of dreams and hopes. Moreover, dreams are not about something specific, because it doesn\u2019t matter what it will be: gold, prospects, position in society, but rather about choosing what to dream about. That she can do something without looking at her husband and society, \u00a0decide for herself where to go and who to be. \u00a0“Freedom, freedom,” she whispers, long-awaited freedom.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. \u00a0Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own.<\/p>\n
She rejoices simply in the fact that, from now on, she is free, and no matter what the days are, the main thing is that now they are only hers.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt lay unmentioned, as the sea
\nDevelops pearl and weed\u201d<\/p>\n
All the feelings that burst out at once lay deep at the bottom of her soul, under the pressure of the norms of society, and the power of her husband. \u00a0However, his death in a storm brings all the “pearls and weed” out. \u00a0She is happy. \u00a0We can see the parallel of the environment and its feelings. \u00a0In the spring, all living things begin to live anew, and bloom. \u00a0She also looks to the future in anticipation of a new life.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut only to himself is known<\/p>\n
The fathoms they abide\u201d<\/p>\n
Through the dramatic irony of the last sentence, we see that no one guesses what was in her soul, what kind of person she really is. \u00a0Because no one cares, generally. \u00a0Since a woman is only an object in the cult of womanhood, having only a number of utilitarian functions.<\/p>\n
Having escaped from the dungeon of this society, where the \u201cchains\u201d are marriage and the tasks of a woman, she can no longer go back. \u00a0After all, the weed that was torn up and washed ashore by the surf will no longer grow on the ocean\u00a0depths again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
