I'm taking online classes and prefer being taught by an instructor versus self taught...so this really helped me and made a positive impact on my day! Thank you
This was awesome. I read this story multiple times for my English class and failed to understand it until finding your video on here. Definitely showed me a whole new meaning to this great story. Thank you! We as women now are so fortunate to live without the restrictions and limited freedom that others like ourselves once had to endure!
Daisy Salinas this writer is a great writer so they assign her work to both high school and college! Obviously the work given varies! It’s not as the same high school work that is given to college students unless it’s a high School/college credit!!
This story was the first one I ever read when I was a freshman doing my Bachelor’s degree in English Literature. Spent four years doing the degree, I’m now watching it from my office as a teacher of English. This video will always bring me happy and sweet memories.
I didn't understand the story until I stumbled this video and I'm so grateful for your help. Thank you so much you really helped me out big time. your voice doesn't make me want to fall asleep as I listen.
thank you so much you are honestly a God send. I’m not good at self teaching things at all and now that school is online. Someone explaining it has really impacted me greatly :)) Thank you for making these videos
To think I find this 7 years later. I have read this story during my high school days as an assignment of some sort and we answer some questions and now an activity related to this appeared as an activity on my online class. Thank you for the video sorry for late finding this video. This is so helpful.
You are the life savior 😅after I read the story I could not conclude what was going on. You make me a good understanding...Thank you... such a great video.
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. You are so clear with all the information you present and I actually understand the literature! Thank you for creating this channel and thank you for the time you put into it!
This is so amazing, thank so much Ms. I'm taking a Literature summer class and we have very little time to go in deep with the stories, and this video has been extremely helpful thank you again.
I'm currently taking English lit and I swear you are a life saver cause I would never truly understand without you breaking in down.. Thank you and pls keep it up
This was very helpful! This really helped me understand the text a little more. Although I understood what was happening when I read it/analyzed it on my own, watching this video helped me clarify a few points I missed. Thank you!
You are the biggest help!! I've watched a ton of your videos to get a good understanding of the literature I'm reading in my ENG 102 class. Thank you!!!
thank you so much for doing this. I am an in English literature class at my university, and English is my second language so I had a hard time understanding the story completely. While I did understand the gist of it, I am so glad that you were able to make this for us! thank you!
English is my first language and I had a hard time making sense of it the end didn’t make a lot of sense like, she died? When? Seemed like missed info was in the story haha
You are seriously an admirable person for devoting your entire channel to scholarly information. Thank you. And please, I have a couple of questions about your analysis if you don't mind trying to help me with them. Isn't it true that Mrs. Mallard could have died for several different reasons?...1) The "joy" of her husband returning after she thought he was dead. 2) The "joy" of her freedom which she realizes she has. 3) Being stripped of her joy of freedom after she realizes that her husband is alive and back to make her have to be in subjection under him again. I'm writing a literary analysis paper for college in which I have to form some sort of argument about this story. Do you think that my argument should go something like this..."Instead of dying from "joy," Mrs. Mallard actually dies of being stripped from the joy of freedom which she had just discovered was greater than being in subjection to her husband."If you could provide any additional insight I'd REALLY appreciate it!! Thanks!!
Great analysis! I didn't catch onto the symbolic window when I first read the story, but now that makes sense. I thought it was too confusing how one would suddenly turn slowly from sad to free and happy in just moments after hearing of a death of a beloved. But then again, I didn't consider the fact that some women were being treated as inferior back in those days, so that makes sense.
I would go further to say that the doctor may have been right all along, because by her death she had now attained that freedom she was so joyous to receive.
This will be very helpful for my story telling 😍🤗 I can't fully understand the real reason of death of Mrs. Mallard before and now I got it. Thank you so much!
I'm currently taking a composition II course and this analysis is amazingly helpful! Thank you. Hopefully you will make more! Maybe on "The Yellow Wallpaper"
English teacher here. Thank you for pointing out that her genuine grief at the beginning shows affection in the marriage. Other commenters read too much into this relationship--abuse, forced marriage, age difference--and twist the story into more than the simple story needs. I tell students to remember the historical context. Women of her status were constrained by social mores especially in Louisianna post-Civil War when only white, land-owning men had any real power. Women went from their father's "ownership" into marriage at a typical early age--late teens-- and only gained control of their own lives when their husband died. That is the freedom she saw. Release from the subservient role cast upon her by society. It would not have occurred to her husband to treat her any other way. Always look at the historical and cultural context when examining literature and be cautious of projecting your own 21st-century experiences on other time periods. Kate Chopin is fascinating. Look her up.
This is one of the most brilliant analysis I have ever seen. Ever since I have been trying to try a deconstructionist criticism on this story, not even my actual professor was this helpful. Thanks very much for this explanation, I right now am like a cat enjoying its favorite cat treats :) . PS: Very first channel I ever subscribed to on youtube as well!
I truly appreciate people that take time to do this. it was very helpful, thanks!!
You are saving my grade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your helping hand on my presentation!

The news gave her a heart attack. Her time in the room she was experiencing a heart attack that eventually killed her by the time her husband arrived
As reading this story, it reminds me of a ghost story with a bit of comedy. Thank you for the helpful analysis.
Thanks so much for doing these explanation videos. You make these stories easier to understand!
Thanks for the second glance, I'm writing a reflection on this story and I'm thrilled to understand it better now.

Pcgboy G Glad you know more now -- and that your grade reflects it!

Thank you for adding such a cogent, "spot on" comment here! I totally agree.
I don't know how that line through the words got there. Now that I know you read it, I have to go back and correct my error!
This is one of the most brilliant analysis I have ever seen. Ever since I have been trying to try a deconstructionist criticism on this story, not even my actual professor was this helpful. Thanks very much for this explanation, I right now am like a cat enjoying its favorite cat treats :) . PS: Very first channel I ever subscribed to on youtube as well!
Emmanuel Kingue Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making me better understand the the story. Literature is truly minding maze.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! You really helped me!
+Kawaii Haneen I'm glad! :-)
You saved me this week in Literature. Thanks!
what would be 2 or 3 main causes of Mrs. Mallard’s unhappy marriage?
well he won't let her doing everything she wants. she has to do what he says.
That was a superb interpretation of the short story, thank you for sharing!
Thank you I think this is the best video about the story
Thank you so much! Super helpful in clarifying the story!
My pleasure!
