The following line from "The Story of an Hour" shows a thought Mrs. Mallard has about marriage: "A kind intention or a cruel intention made the act seem no less a crime as she looked upon it in that brief moment of illumination." Which best paraphrases her thought?

Getting married is a crime if it is done with cruel intentions.

Even if it is done with good intentions, confining a woman to marriage is a crime.

Marriage is less a crime if the people both have kind intentions.

It is not a crime to confine a woman to marriage if the husband's intentions are good.

    I love the "Story of an Hour". The second option where it says " Even if it is done with good intentions, confining a woman to marriage is a crime" is the correct answer. She talks about freedom from her husband and she feels great relief that he died whch justifies why that option is the correct one.
