The narrator showed the troubles in a relationship through Mr and Mrs Mallard’s marriage. Their marriage had denied Louise of all her rights and freedom. They both represented the ideals of a typical man and woman in the 19th century. Though they seemed to lead a loveless marriage, Louise admitted of having loved her husband sometimes. Yet she felt no grief at the death of her husband. She looked forward to her new life, free from the clutches of a toxic marriage and her oppressive husband. Their relationship was quite a complex one where Brently might love his wife but had the upper hand in their relationship.
