The Story of an Hour 一小时的故事（英文版）

Every married women is in jail.

很有意思，充滿臆想的美國短篇小說，一小時內的悲傷、覺醒解放到夢醒，充滿誤解的人生。

《the story of an hour》：[美]凯特·肖邦

Monstrous joy —— the phrase is her own. That self-condemnation is the point. Power, at its most effective, never needs to announce itself; it has already been absorbed into the self, so that when desire stirs, the internal verdict arrives before any external one can. Mrs. Mallard does not need a husband, a doctor, or a social norm to tell her that her feeling is wrong. She tells herself first. The estrangement from her own liberation is not imposed from outside — it is the imposition.

她有生以来第一次感受到了自由，哪怕只有短短几秒。 以下有剧透 | | 很有dramatic irony的结局，众人和Mrs. Mallard对后者死因有完全相反的理解。
