Why Pair the "Story of an Hour" and "A Doll's House"?

I think these two stories have many similarities. First of all, Ibsen and Chopin wrote both of these stories during the Victorian era where piety and women's duty to a man were societal norms. Both of these stories go against that with social realism. In a Doll's House, the people talk about blackmail and forgery committed by a woman. Nora, the protagonist, even considers leaving her family or committing suicide. These would not have been talked about in that day and age. Also, in the Story of an Hour, Mrs. Mallard is relieved when she finds out her husband has died. This would have been very controversial because women were supposed to love their husbands and want nothing more than marriage. However, her case brings to light the limited freedoms women had being married in the Victorian era. Both of these stories have the theme of social realism which brings to the stage things people would not talk about. Nora and Mrs. Mallard are also very comparable because they both want individual freedoms and not be controlled by men. Mrs. Mallard wants to live here life to the fullest without a husband when she hears of his death, but is shocked and dies due to shock when she hears he is still alive. Nora wants to do things on her own and not rely on Helmer. She hates the fact that she owes Krogstad money. Both these tales detail how very little liberty women had in the Victorian era and they make people think about topics that are not openly discussed.
