Based on the short story, The Story of an Hour, discuss what can be inferred about the significance of the open window in Mrs. Mallard’s room. Write your answer in a short paragraph of 100-150 words.
उत्तर
In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," the open window in Mrs. Mallard's room serves as a powerful symbol of freedom and the possibilities of life beyond the confines of her oppressive marriage. As Mrs. Mallard sits before it, the window provides a view of the outside world, which is vibrant and alive with the signs of spring. The descriptions of the "delicious breath of rain," the "notes of a distant song," and the "countless sparrows twittering in the eaves" suggest a world teeming with renewal and continuity. For Mrs. Mallard, who has just received news of her husband's death, the open window represents the new and unrestricted life that she can now lead. It stands as a portal to this new existence, contrasting starkly with the closed, stifling environment of her married life. The fresh, open air coming through the window symbolizes the freedom she has longed for, which is now tantalizingly within reach. This imagery supports the theme of liberation, highlighting the contrast between the confinement of her past and the boundless opportunities of her future.
