A short story written in the early 19th century, which falls within the American Romantic literary movement. The narrative explores the themes of grief and the complexities of human emotion, particularly as they relate to love and loss experienced by two sisters who have recently lost their husbands in tragic circumstances. The story unfolds in a simple parlor where two widowed sisters, Mary and Margaret, grapple with their profound sorrow after receiving news of the deaths of their husbands—one a sailor and the other a landsman. As they mourn together, the stark contrast between their experiences of grief becomes evident; Mary maintains a semblance of hope and piety, while Margaret is consumed by despair. Throughout the night, each sister faces her own emotional struggles, punctuated by a series of critical revelations—the joyful news that Mary’s husband has survived the shipwreck, contrasting with Margaret's lingering sorrow. The tale artfully balances these emotions, ultimately highlighting the bittersweet nature of joy and sadness intertwined in the human experience.
