How can we connect "The Story of an Hour" to The Great Gatsby? How do Daisy and Mrs. Mallard share similar reactions toward their marriage?

The worlds of Daisy Buchanan in The Great Gatsby and Louise Mallard in "The Story of an Hour" are separated by a period of only about thirty years, and conditions for American women did not change substantially in the three decades that separate them. Neither woman would have an easy time, financially or socially, if she were not married, and it colors each character's outlook on her marriage.
Neither Louise Mallard nor Daisy Buchanan are married to men who have significant financial problems; Daisy, in fact, is married to a very wealthy man. Both women stay at home, and it is clear that both women are discontent in their marriages. When she thinks about her husband, Brently, Louise concludes that "she had loved him—sometimes. Often she had not." The same is certainly true of Daisy's attitude toward her husband; when Gatsby challenges her to say that she never loved Tom Buchanan, she confesses, "I did love him once—but I loved you too."
It is arguable that both women are trapped in their marriages. Neither woman has any way of supporting herself, and Daisy has her social standing and child to consider. Leaving her unfulfilling marriage would take more strength than she possesses. The same might be true of Louise, but she never receives the chance to find out because she dies before she can fully conceive of being on her own.
