The Awakening by Kate Chopin (11-20)


These chapters are really interesting. Edna began to face difficulties regarding her role as a mother due to the fact that she is attracted to Robert. Edna gets the opportunity to spent a day in a boat trip with Robert, and they get to talk with each other. After spending the whole day with Robert, she went home. She kept thinking on and on about Robert and she regret that she did not spent more time with Robert. Later on, Robert suddenly decides to leave New Orleans, in hopes of finding a new life, in Mexico. Everyone is shocked, especially Edna. Even after returning home with his husband and kids to New Orleans, she is still remembering Robert and the joyful time she has spent with him. As days went by, Edna starts feeling depressed.
