Answer:

Josephine and Richards represent the traditional nineteenth-century roles of men and women and what is expected of each. These conventional roles are in stark contrast with the role of our protagonist , Mrs. Mallard, who is overcome not with grief but with feelings of freedom upon receiving the news of the story
