dom a little longer and even began to make a blueprint of her future carefree life, so she dragged on deliberately to open the door for her sister. When she went out and descended the stairs with her sister, she refreshed herself and ‘she carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of victory’. But her sweet dream was doomed to be fulfilled because that the news of her husband’s death turned out to be a rumor. When she saw her husband came back safe and sound, she was so shocked, and maybe also so despaired that she couldn’t stand the blow brought by the trick God played with her. She was so psychologically weak that her heart disease suddenly attacked her and sent her directly to the no-return road. Interestingly, the doctor arbitrarily declared that she died because of exhilaration, and probably the cause of her death could only be rendered this way. Sadly, even until her death, no one could understand what Mrs. Mallard was thinking about. The death of Mrs. Mallard is far from an individual tragedy. It is a true reflection of the common fate of women in the 19th century. Simultaneously it is also a eulogy dedicated to them. Although all Mrs. Mallard’s efforts and desires end in vain, she echoes the second women movement in full swing in the United States and provokes more people, especially women to think about their own destinies. Considering the fierce public response to the publication of her Awakening, Kate Chopin must feel much stressed so that she denied that she was a feminist. Sara Parton, one of her contemporaries and the most controversial American woman writer, didn’t admit either that she was a feminist. But they both have made great contribution to the elevation of the women’s social status. Short as it is in length, the Story of an Hour affords us much for thought. Notably the author has wonderfully adopted the stream of consciousness in her novels and with her subtle description she has produced a ‘true-to-life’ effect. In this sense, we can decide that she is a good practitioner of it presented by William James. Thereby we can also see the pervasive influence of psychological analysis among the English writers. 【Bibliography】 [1] Chopin, Kate: The Story of an Hour; from The Selected English Short Stories, Compiled by Du Lixia; Xi’an Jiaotong University Press, December 2001.
