The story of an Hour

My first read through the story was very interesting. I was having a hard time understanding what happened to this woman and if she died from a heart attack or joy. At first I thought it was a heart attack. However, reading this story a second time I believe that she died from joy. She didn't die from the joy of her husband being dead but from the joy of being free. She could finally rest and be herself. She might also be happy that she will see him in the after life. I had a hard time choosing which one i liked so i just chose both for the theme.
