The was unheard of. Mrs. Mallard was

The story revels how the institution of marriage in the 19th century still reflects the 21st century. Mrs. Mallard was not happy at all in ther marriag, but she stayed because back then divorce was unheard of.

Mrs. Mallard was saddened by her husband’s death, but on the other hand she was happy because now she could be free and do all of the things that sh wanted to do. The 19th century concept of marriage has not changed so much, in the 21st century because there are women wh still feel that they have to be submissive to their husband’s every need like Mrs. Mallard was. There are not happy. For example, my sister stays home while her husband works and she tends to their three children.

She would say to me that she envied me because I am able to work and enjoy the things that I like. I explained to her that she doesn’t have to stay home, but the she tells me that ther husband does not want her to work or have any outsided activites. I don’t understand why she tolerates this from her husband.

I often ask why she stays married to him, and her replis is because she loves him and she can not do anything without him. In conclusion, this is a prime examepl what kate choplin wrote about. My sister is allowing for her husband to do what Mrs. Mallard’s husband did to her. thoughtout this women roles have changed dramatically, women have been enslaved and put down and their rights taken away from them, but through the course of the years these rights were given back because not wome can vote, become firefighters,police officers and mayors and senators.
