The very first sentence it tells us that Louise Mallard suffered from a heart condition. In the story I was so surprised she had been married for so long, so young. But when you look back, and go into the story a little bit more we see some strange ideas that kate presents. The entire passage where the main character is having some form of a panic attack , doesn't seem like a panic attack at all . kate phrases like her “parted lips”, her bosom rose and fell tumultuously” and” pulse beat fast” are all example of sensual description of this character. I think that it is very likely that most marriages are not always about returned love between one and the other and during the passage that was mostly the main concern. I think Richard was a great and fascinating character. He was trying to get Kate to understand she doesn't have to have a man by her side all the time.
