"The Story of an Hour

Write about the short story "The Story of an Hour." Answer the following question: Between what two forces does conflict exist? The thesis will answer this question, and the rest of the essay will provide three main pieces of evidence to prove the conflict is between the two forces. My answer: the two forces are the socially conditioned response to mourn her husband's passing and the personal response which is the newly discovered freedom and sense of self that is now upon her.
