So he started giving them to her even though it pained him to see her getting hurt. Even after he gave her very pleasant memories the bad ones had already

    Additional information about the character I would like to know is more about Mrs.Mallard and her husband. I want to know what kind of a person he was and what kind of person Mrs.Mallard was as well. I would also like more information on the setting such as where the characters are and their surroundings. I believe that Chopin does not provide this information because she wants the reader to just be focused on the death of Brently Mallard and not all the other components of a story. I would say that the fact that the story is economical is a strength.
