Defining literary comparisons in
Kate Chopin's The Story of an Hour and Gail Godwin's A Sorrowful Woman are both similar pieces of literary work in that both stories offers a revealing glimpse of extremely unhappy marriages. Both Mrs. Mallard and the unnamed mistress in A Sorrowful Woman called (the wife) seem to reveal a problem or possibly a disease which is plainly inherited through the institution of there marriages. They are so unhappy with the lives they lead and the person(s) in them they seem to drive themselves to there own death.

Josephine had delivered this information just before Mrs. so sick she did not want to see them ever again. The man and child ran to the little room, could not contain themselves to knock flung back the door and there lie his wife/mother restless without the slightest movement and last deed; her freshly-washed hair. All of these chores were beginning to become too much for him to handle by himself so with his wife's permission he hired in the perfect young girl that was very dynamic. Mallard's death after a few short moments of morning (12). He was no where near the accident and at that same moment Mrs. She then clasped to her sister's waist causing them both to descend down the stair with Richards waiting at the bottom. With the women from both stories still locked away in their rooms the time passes. It was he (Richard) who had received intelligence of the death as he was in the newspaper room and heard fist word of the rail road disaster with Brently Mallard's name at the top of the death list.
