How do Mrs. Mallard's feelings evolve throughout the story?
She is initially elated with joy that her husband survives the crash, then becomes distraught when she realized she misses her opportunity to be on her own, and finally is overcome with shock that Josephine and Mr. Richards are having an affair.
At first, she weeps wildly, then calms down and is hopeful of her future independence, and finally is so shocked at her husband's return that she dies.
She first cries when she sees her husband on the news, then screams when she realizes she will have to provide for herself, and finally accepts that she will need to marry Mr. Richards in order to survive.
All answers can be supported with text evidence.

How does Mrs. Mallard's thought process demonstrate that she is different from other women?
Most women would have been unable to accept news of their husband's death, but she comes to terms with it rather quickly and realizes she loves the idea of living independently more than she loves him.
Most women would have been ecstatic that such an abusive spouse died in an ironic twist of fate, but Mrs. Mallard fails to see the irony.
The fact that she is unable to process her husband's death shows how she is actually far less emotionally intelligent than other women like her sister, Josephine.
Mrs. Mallard is actually not different from other women. She is an example of how all women are only good as housewives.
