I gave The Story of an Hour, which is public domain and can be found at http://my.hrw.com/support/hos/hostpdf..., a full 5 stars because I read the story along with two other people, and we each had a different take on why the protagonist reacted the way she did. Only great works can make like-minded people see things in a different way. This short story is packed with great detail and has made me an instant fan of Chopin.

A Pair of Silk Stockings had me admiring the protagonist one minute and then hating her the next - while The Respectable Woman left me wondering what is to come. They're all excellent stories that leaves the reader wanting to discuss immediately upon completion of reading.
