5 STARE BRAINLIEST AND THANS :”The Story of an Hour”

Your Task: Write a well-developed, text-based response of two to three paragraphs about the last line of the story. The last line says this: “When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills.” In what ways is this an ironic statement? What is gained by having the doctors make such a statement rather than putting it in the mouths of Josephine or Richards? Identify one literary technique or rhetorical device that was portrayed throughout the story. Use strong and thorough evidence from the text to support your analysis. Do not simply summarize the text. You may use the margins to take notes as you read and scrap paper to plan your response.
