Reading and Discussion Questions on Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”
What is the significance of the title?
What is the nature of Mrs. Mallard’s “heart trouble,” and why would the author mention it in the first paragraph? Is there any way in which this might be considered symbolic or ironic?
The setting of the story is very limited; it is confined largely to a room, a staircase, and a front door. How does this limitation help to express the themes of the story?
In what ways is this passage significant? “She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.” What kinds of sensory images does this passage contain, and what senses does it address? What does the vision through the open window mean to her? Where else does she taste, smell, or touch something intangible in the story?
What kind of relationships do the Mallards have? Is Brently Mallard unkind to Louise Mallard, or is there some other reason for her saying “free, free, free!” when she hears of his death? How does she feel about him?
Mallard closes the door to her room so that her sister Josephine cannot get in, yet she leaves the window open. Why does Chopin make a point of telling the reader this? How might this relate to the idea of being “free” and to the implicit idea that she is somehow imprisoned? Do other words in the story relate to this idea
What does Josephine represent in the story? What does Richards represent?
Mallard is described as descending the stairs “like a goddess of Victory.” In what ways does she feel herself victorious?
The last line of the story is this: “When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills.” In what ways is this an ironic statement? What is gained by having the doctors make such a statement rather than putting it in the mouths of Josephine or Richards?
What view of marriage does the story present? The story was published in 1894; does it only represent attitudes toward marriage in the nineteenth century, or could it equally apply to attitudes about marriage today?

Respond to (3) peers’ student introduction worksheets by “replying” to their initial discussion post. Commenting on more than (3) is encouraged.

Is the speech organized in a way that seems logical to you?
Do you find the conclusion to be a good summary or thought-provoking? Do you have a suggestion here?

This is your second written speech assignment for the semester. You will be completing the provided Special Occasion Speech Worksheet, which is a Microsoft Word document.
This primary focus this week is drafting your special occasion speech. Although I use the word draft, you should consider this a completed version of your speech. Speeches are really in draft form until they are presented because the final product might not match the outline/draft exactly. This week we will take a deeper dive into the specific special occasion speeches you can choose to prepare and present in this module. 
We started off reviewing the best practices for any special occasion speech.
