Reaction to "The Story of an Hour"

Irony for me is when saying something, but meaning something else. Irony can also be when expecting something and getting something completely different. In the story of an hour irony is definitely present when Mrs. Millard receives the news that her husband had die. Mrs. Millard was supposed to be sad, but contrary to that she was happy because she was free. Then everything turns out to be a misunderstanding because Mrs. Millard’s husband was not dead at all, and when Mrs. Millard saw her husband she died of the emotion. I think that this was clearly an example of irony.
