Chapter 4-Writing about stories

When it comes to storytelling, the elements of fiction are what make each story unique. Characters are the most interesting because making them 3 dimensional takes work from the author and often have the most story to tell. In "The story of an Hour," Mrs. Mallard is the antagonist and her opinions matter most to the reader because of the way it is written. The other characters, especially Richards' are characterized by their actions rather than thoughts like Mrs. Mallard.
