The Story Of An Hour
The Story Of An Hour: Short Story | Kate Chopin
7 posts | 31 read | 9 to read
Mrs. Louise Mallard, afflicted with a heart condition, reflects on the death of her husband from the safety of her locked room. Originally published in Vogue magazine, “The Story of an Hour” was retitled as “The Dream of an Hour,” when it was published amid much controversy under its new title a year later in St. Louis Life. “The Story of an Hour” was adapted to film in The Joy That Kills by director Tina Rathbone, which was part of a PBS anthology called American Playhouse. HarperPerennial Classics brings great works of literature to life in digital format, upholding the highest standards in ebook production and celebrating reading in all its forms.

Judas Priest. Do yourself a favor and read this short story. It packs an absolute wallop. It lives rent-free in my head. Mrs. Mallard receives word that her husband has been killed in an accident. What follows isn't quite what you'd expect.

The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin is one of those stories that just fills my brain and keeps it going over all those themes, but it is a bit simple in it's short plot (although it packs a punch) to rank as an absolute favourite.

Although short, The Story of an Hour has a lot to say about both joy and grief. What did you think about either joy or grief and the relationship between the two? #litereads

Most of our #litereads selections are longer than The Story of an Hour. What do you think of reading fiction this short compared to reading short fiction with a bit more bulk to it? Do you think the shortness impacted how you viewed the story and characters?

Our latest #litereads selection is The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin, a feminist classic centered on a woman's freedom at the death of her husband. You can find sources for visual and audio reading in our post. Be sure to let us know what you think!
