Answer:

Mrs. Mallard first cries in Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," at the news of the death of her husband: she did not hear the story like many women heard the same, with a paralyzed reluctance to accept its meaning. At once, she wept, unexpectedly, wildly lost, in her sister's embrace.

Step-by-step explanation:

The response of Mrs. Mallard to the news of the death of her husband is that of a woman released from a lengthy jail sentence. She is shocked by silent disbelief, overwhelmed by emotion, hit by a feeling of relief that she is released from the marriage burden.
