This short-story "The story of an Hour" revolves around what goes through a person's head when informed that a close family member has perished. However, I wouldn't say that this is the theme of the story, which I'll get back to. Louise Mallard is a young, yet married woman who suffers from heart trouble, and that's why her closest relatives feel that they have to break the news to her as gently as possible. Immediately after hearing the shocking news, Louise starts crying, and storms into her room. Since Louise spends the majority of the short-story in her room, this is the setting of the story. Noone really knows early in the story how Louise really feels about her husband dying. But the author certainly gives some evident hints.
On the other hand Parents and children will eternally struggle over control. Amy Tan shows us through this story "Two Kinds" that parents never can truly control children. Children come to us with their own minds and spirits, and develop their own hopes and dreams that parents can not silence. She also points out those even obedient children who do as they are told still have willful thoughts. In the portrait of Jing-mei, we sympathize with these young minds. Jing-mei shows us that good children will disappoint their parents over and over; not because they're bad, but because they can only be who they are, themselves.
