Mrs. Mallard, a woman with heart trouble, is informed that her husband has been killed in a railroad disaster. She "wept at once" and went to her room where she could be alone. As she sat in her room alone she realized she was free. Sure, she'd be sad when she saw them bury her husband, but she was free to do with her life what she wanted to do with her life. She wasn't madly in love with her husband-- in fact, often times she felt she didn't even love him at all-- so the more she thought about being free (free in body & soul) the more excited she became. In fact, she felt like she was "drinking an elixir of life" and finally came out of her room feeling like a "goddess of Victory." As she and her sister went downstairs they heard someone opening the front door-- it was her husband, who had been far from the accident and didn't even know there had been one. Mrs. Mallard died. The doctors declared she'd died of Heart disease-- "of the joy that kills." (Nothing like some irony for you...)
