The theme in Emily Dickinson’s poem “The Wife” explains to the reader that she sacrifice a lot of things for this marriage “The playthings of her life” and the secure only keep to herself like in the deepest in the sea, not even her husband know”But only to himself is known The fathoms they abide.” Mrs. Mallard’s emotional state in “The Story of an Hour, tells us about her being free of the death of her husband, it also in a way to shows the reader that she’s out of the cage”There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers” nothing can stop her from being free now. From these two articles, we can see that it is not just Emily and Mrs. Mallrds in this cruel marriage, it is the worst possible century to be born in (anything before 20th century). Marriage for women is like a birdcage, and the owner(husband) dresses (expect) the wife to be the way he wanted to be.
