For similarities, all three pieces include a person struggling with a façade and ultimately seeking happiness. Moreover, one of the biggest differences is that in “A Rose for Emily”, the façade is actually created by society and not the person, which is important because it could possibly impact Emily by unconsciously adhering to it. An additional difference is that in “The Story of an Hour”, Mrs. Mallard overcomes her façade, but ultimately dies because of it. I think we should take that with a grain of salt though because overcoming her façade was not her intention, regaining her freedom
