Answer:

The constraint Louise felt as a married woman of her era.

Step-by-step explanation:

Louise felt imprisoned and suffocated by marriage based on society's patriarchal standards that oppressed her greatly. For this reason, when the husband dies, she is invaded by a sense of freedom because she will no longer live in the presence of her oppressor and finally will have the freedom to lead her own life.
