Chopin’s protagonist in “the story of an hour,” louise mallard, utters the words “free, free, free” after she receives the news of her husband’s death. what theme of the story does this action most clearly reflect? a. the constraint louise felt as a married woman of her era b. the disintegration of the bond between louise and her husband c. the heart problem that ails louise from time to time d. the constant presence of louise’s family in the home

A. because the theme reflects the marital imprisonment of women in that society

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.
