Benjamin franklin said, "be assured, a woman's power, as well as happiness, has no other foundation but her husband's esteem and love." based on her thinking after learning of her husband's death, how would mrs. mallard in "the story of an hour" have responded to franklin's idea? use evidence from the story to support your conclusion.

In “The Story of an Hour” Louise Mallard is the protagonist who suffers in a marriage she is not happy with. Different from Benjamin Franklin’s assumption, when her husband dies in a train accident she cries of course, but later she notices that she is free from her marriage and now she has a will to live.

Her marriage made her so miserable she wanted to die and once she is freed from it she desires to live she even screams “free, free, free!” (262).  So you can assume that the character would not agree with Franklin’s thoughts.
