Characterization, Tone, and Setting in The Story of an Hour :: The Story of an Hour

Characterization, Tone, and Setting in The Story of an Hour1 The theme of The Story of an Hour is do not believe everything that is told to you until you see it yourself. This story is understood better when you focus on these three critical concepts, characterization, tone and setting. 2 First off is characterization, which is substantial for what is upcoming at the end of the story. To understand this you must understand the character of Louise Mallard. Louise was young looking with fair skin and a calm face, who spoke repression and some(prenominal) strength. ? She also has a heart problem, which means the death of her husband has to be broken to her as gently as possible. But now ? there is zero point but a dull stare gazing into the patches of blue sky as if she was in intelligent thought. 3 The second of the three critical concepts I am using is tone. Tone is the prevailing attitude as perceived by the reader. Attitudes I got from reading this story were sad and blow out of the water. The sad part is when her husband had died in a railroad disaster. It was her sister who had, with broken sentences, slowly told her that he had died. Mr. mMallards friend Richard was also there at the time to assist Josephine in breaking the fearful news. After they had told her, she had looked ? herself in her room and stared out the window. The second attitude was shocked this was how I felt at the end of the story. CS - 1 The reason I did is when Josephine finally got Louise to have it off out of her room and come back downstairs.

This was shocking to me because they had said that he had died in a railroad accident and the second telegram confirmed it. But Mr. Mallard had said that he was now were nowhere Hostage 50 near the supposed accid ent nevertheless though ? he did not even hear about one.
