What was mrs. mallard's reaction to the report of her husband's death?

Mrs. Mallard first cries in Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," at the news of the death of her husband: she did not hear the story like many women heard the same, with a paralyzed reluctance to accept its meaning. At once, she wept, unexpectedly, wildly lost, in her sister's embrace. 

Explanation:

The response of Mrs. Mallard to the news of the death of her husband is that of a woman released from a lengthy jail sentence. She is shocked by silent disbelief, overwhelmed by emotion, hit by a feeling of relief that she is released from the marriage burden.

        its hard for some people to get along and that’s the case for douglass and canot. most of the time when people do not agree with each other its because they have different presperctives, and that is the case here.

captain canot was never a slave so but he was a slaver and a slave ship captain and just like the slave master's he tought it was it was totally normal, he used captain conot is a cruel man who enjoys whipping slaves but never   got whipped he saw it has a destiny for the slave to be a slave and the slaver to be a slaver   but douglass has suffered whoppings cut   even for no reason sometimes. douglass believed that slavery was not natural to black people, they need to study and learn how to read and write. he knew they have rights.

it was really not the captain’s fault he was just brainwashed by the system and when your brainwashed by the system its hard not to be brainwashed. but the reason douglass wants this is because he has suffered he knows how it feels and will do anything to stop that.

i longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—africa, india, china and peru!

and, dreaming of the lands i had never seen, i'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.
