Mrs. Mallard and Mrs. Baroda both crave freedom, but in different ways. Mrs. Mallard wants the freedom to discover who she is. She doesn't want to live under the constraint of a man. She whispers: “Free!” Free body and soul” (Chopin 1). Although she shows some grief for her husband's death, she realizes her new freedom. This situation causes Chopin to reveal her name and starts calling her Louise, meaning that she is no longer in a man's shadow, but is free. Mrs. Baroda realizes that she too wants freedom. She is tempted to touch Gouvernail affectionately. This shows that she would like to have the freedom to admire any man she wants. The two women are completely opposite in their vision of freedom. Louise wanted time to herself, while Mrs. Baroda wants freedom and love with another man who doesn't ask much of her. Women's outlook on life is also not very similar. It is clearly shown that Mrs. Baroda is a romantic and respectful woman in the sense that she will do anything to please the man she loves and cares about his well-being. Louise seems to be the complete opposite of Mrs. Baroda. She is more realistic and she looks forward to living alone and sees her marriage as a trap as she keeps saying.
