The theme of the Emily Dickson poem “The Wife” relates to Mrs.Mallards emotional state in “The Story of an Hour” is because the theme I noticed in Emily Dickson’s poem was when I was reading the second group of four lines as she was explaining that if she was to miss anything at all in the new day it would feel that to her as she was not able to accomplish what she had settled for the day because she was a women who enjoyed to do work and missing a day didn’t settle right with her and basically ruined her plans. The way it relates to “The Story of an Hour” to me is because in this story Louise basically was not around the moment her husband died but the people who were are trying to figure ways to tell Louise about her husbands death so that she does not react in a certain way especially since she was not there. The way these two connect are because they both speak about in their own ways how they feel ashamed if they were to miss something big in their lives and in each of them it shows they end up not being in certain places during important times.
