 Women desperately desires for freedom
"Free! Body and soul free!" she kept whispering
Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her
She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a
shudder that life might be long

After spending time alone in her room, she notices something is coming to her, but she is scared of the
joy of freedom. She understands that this feeling is wrong, and she is "striving to beat it back with her
will." Freedom is what Mrs. Mallard desires the most, but instead of letting it not take over her right
away, she fights it back. She even calls it "a monstrous joy"- the joy that no one will accept. This detail
shows that Mrs. Mallard knows what is right and wrong and is willing to fight back her desire for her
husband and her feelings for him. Sau khi ở một mình trong phòng, cô ấy nhận thấy điều gì đó đang đến
với mình, nhưng cô ấy sợ hãi niềm vui tự do. Cô ấy hiểu rằng cảm giác này là sai, và cô ấy đang "phấn
đấu để đánh bại nó bằng ý chí của mình." Tự do là điều mà bà Mallard mong muốn nhất, nhưng thay vì
để nó không chiếm lấy mình ngay lập tức, bà lại chống lại nó. Thậm chí, cô còn gọi đó là "niềm vui quái
dị" - niềm vui không ai chấp nhận được. Chi tiết này cho thấy bà Mallard biết đâu là đúng, đâu là sai và
sẵn sàng đánh trả lại ham muốn chồng con cũng như tình cảm mà bà dành cho anh.
