“The Story of An Hour” {Question's}

1. The story says Mrs. Mallard “had loved him [her husband]–sometimes. Often she did not.” If she was “often” not in love with him, why did she marry him?
Maybe because there was a time in her life that she did love him, but now she just doesn’t feel it no more.

2. What was life like for Mrs. Mallard in the home of Brently Mallard?
It most not been so good because when he died she felt happy and free

3. In the report of the train accident, Brently Mallard's name was at the top of the list of fatalities (Paragraph 2). Does this information mean that Mallard was an important citizen in his community? Does it also suggest that perhaps Louise married him, in part, because of his standing in the community?
I believe that he was because his name was the first one on the list.

4. Do you believe Brently Mallard mistreated his wife? In answering this question, keep in mind the following: (1) In Paragraph 13, Louise Mallard recalls that Brently was kind and that "he had never looked save with love upon her." (2) However, Paragraph 8 had previously informed the reader that Mrs. Mallard's face "bespoke repression," and Paragraph 14 says Brently had a "powerful will bending her."
I believe that he did because she felt that she was free from all the pain that he has put though.

5. How much of Mrs. Mallard's apparent unhappiness in her marriage was her own fault?
Haft of it was her flat because she married him so it is haft her flat.

6. After Mrs. Mallard receives news that her husband died in a train accident, she goes to “her room.” Do these two words mean that she slept separately from her husband? Does the fact that no children are named in the story indeed indicate that she and her husband slept apart?
To me it means that she need time to think about life.

7. Research the life of Kate Chopin (1851-1904). Then decide whether the death of her husband in 1882 influenced her when she wrote “The Story of an Hour,” published in 1894 in Vogue magazine.
Yes it did, because she felt it in her when she heard that he died.

8. Did author Chopin herself face problems similar to those of Mrs. Mallard?
Well she did because she stayed in the house like Mrs.Mallard.
