Dr. Whitney Koster discusses Kate Chopin's 'The Story of an Hour' through a feminist lens, highlighting the restrictive nature of 19th-century marriage. The lecture explores the protagonist, Louise Mallard's, emotional journey upon hearing of her husband's death, her brief sense of freedom, and the societal constraints she faces. The story's irony is emphasized, as Louise's newfound freedom is short-lived. The lecture concludes with a reflection on the broader implications of marriage as an institution.
