    I choose “The story of an hour”, and “The Martyr” because both the short story and poem remind me that around those times the Women’s rights movement began and progressed, and deaths had happened often. In the poem “The Martyr” the death of a father was written relating to the times they live in. “He lieth in his blood—The father in his face; They have killed him, the Forgiver— The Avenger takes his place, …For they killed him in his kindness, In their madness and their blindness. And his blood is

When she finds

    short stories "The Story of an Hour" and "The Interlopers" appear to be greatly divergent. However, taking a step back, it becomes clear that the pair have more in common than one might assume. First off, although both have entirely different settings, we can see that the authors of each story have similarly used the setting as a form of symbolism. In "The Story of an Hour" the setting is a bright spring day. Mrs. Mallard sees "tops of trees that were all aquiver with new spring life". The Story of

The quote by E.M. Forster that expresses this idea is, “The king died and then the queen died is a story.
