It gave her a certain release from what she evidently felt as repression or frustration, thereby freeing forces that had lain dormant in her. “This astonishing story strongly indicates that the sudden success which Bayou Folk brought Kate Chopin was of crucial importance in the author’s own self-fulfillment. Her death, he writes, is the only place that will offer her the absolute freedom she desires. He focuses on the scene in Louise’s bedroom and points out how unrealistic her notion of love is. Louise’s death is the culmination of her being “an immature and shallow egotist,” Lawrence Berkove says. The irony of her death is that even if her sudden epiphany is freeing, her autonomy is empty, because she has no place in society. She dies as a result of the strain she is under. Louise Mallard’s death isn’t caused by her joy at seeing her husband’s return or by her sudden realization that his death has granted her autonomy. Her death is the result of the complications in uniting both halves of her world. Though constrained by biological determinism, social conditioning, and marriage, Louise reclaims her own life-but at a price. Her husband’s death forces Louise to reconcile her “inside” and “outside” consciousness-a female double consciousness within Louise’s thoughts.

“In the mid- to late 1890s, Vogue was the place where Chopin published her most daring and surprising stories. Kate Chopin “was a life-long connoisseur of rickety marriages, and all her wisdom is on display in her piercing analysis of this thoroughly average one.” Christopher Benfey Mallard will grieve for the husband who had loved her but will eventually revel in the ‘monstrous joy’ of self-fulfillment, beyond ideological strictures and the repressive effects of love.” Mary Papke Love is not a substitute for selfhood indeed, selfhood is love’s precondition.” Barbara C. “Love has been, for Louise and others, the primary purpose of life, but through her new perspective, Louise comprehends that ‘love, the unsolved mystery’ counts for very little. The story is “one of feminism’s sacred texts,” Susan Cahill writing in 1975, when readers were first discovering Kate Chopin. A great deal has been written about this story for many years.
