"The Story of an Hour" and "The Yellow Wall-Paper" both deal with wives uphappy in their marriages. This seems to be a result of their husband's controlling nature. In the first story, the main character is happy to find that she has been freed from her husband. In the second, the wife feels trapped by her husband. Therefore, they both carry the theme "controlling husbands make for an unhappy marriage".
