She actually loved Brently very much and her first impulse at the news of his death was to cry. Also, she was perfectly aware that she would also cry at his funeral, considering that they loved each-other and that she was accustomed to living next to him. Brently was actually caring and loving toward her and one might believe that Louise's concern about her having been freed is morally wrong. However, a person who is not free is unable to appreciate matters such as love, as he or she is constantly thinking about the moment when he or she will finally be able to do what they want. Louise had nothing against Brently and, in point of fact, expressed an objective position in regard to their relationship. What she wanted to highlight was the fact that marriages in general were wrong because they robbed women of one of their most precious gift -- the chance to follow their ideals.
Furthermore, she considers that her marriage was equally oppressive for Brently because he was constantly connected to her and unable to perform certain acts. From Louise's perspective, married people are no longer independent. Her heart trouble might actually be an allusion to the fact that she is unhappy with the fact that she is married.

III. Although it is difficult to determine whether marriages were bad for men living in the late nineteenth century, it is only safe to assume that women living during the period had several problems as a result of their marriage. Not only did the institution of marriage prevent women from being independent, as they were also oppressed by society as a whole because they were considered to be less capable in comparison to men.
