Asked by Nebuchadnezzar

Read the following summary of Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour."

"In this story, Louise Mallard is told the terrible news that her husband has died in a train accident. Instead of acting like a normal, grieving widow, she selfishly locks herself in her room. There, she has a shocking realization that she is now 'free' from her marriage. This is a truly awful and unnatural reaction, proving she was a bad wife who never loved her kind husband. Her subsequent death from heart failure when he miraculously returns home is nothing more than a fittingly dramatic and deserved ending for someone with such immoral feelings."

Explanation: The summary imposes moral judgments (calling Louise "selfish," "awful," "immoral," etc.) rather than neutrally reporting events and character reactions.
