Robert declares his love for Edna, she is overjoyed and looks forward to their time together. #theawake36

discordant - harsh or unpleasant in sound, not agreeing: not in harmony #theawake33

Edna loves her children, when she is with them, however; she realizes that she is okay being alone once she leaves them. #theawake32

Edna realizes that it's time to move on, away from her husband and children. She wants to start a new life. #theawake30

Palpitant - marked by trembling or throbbing #TheAwake26

[Mitchell Shapiro @LitEducaMitch]

Impetuous - acting or done quickly and without thought; controlled by emotion rather than thought #TheAwake20

Edna has pure disgust for her husband. She knows that she no longer wants to be his wife. #TheAwake17

[Mitchell Shapiro @LitEducaMitch]

Edna began to realize that she was changing. In herself, she felt and saw herself differently than she had in her past. #TheAwake14

The deeper water, in which she didn't want to swim in; represented a barrier in her life. She felt it couldn't be overcome. #TheAwake10

Mademoiselle Reisz plays piano and feels that Edna is the only one that truly appreciates the music.#TheAwake9

Encumbrance - something burdensome, useless, or a hindrance.#TheAwake4

We learn who Mr. and Mrs. Pontellier are and that Mr. Pontellier prefers to be away from his wife. #TheAwake1

Edna cannot determine why she initially declined Robert’s offer of a swim when she did wish to go with him to the beach. #theawake5

[Mitchell Shapiro @LitEducaMitch]

Since early adolescence, Robert has chosen one woman each summer to whom he devotes himself as an attendant. #theawake5

[Mitchell Shapiro @LitEducaMitch]

He wakes Edna to tell her the news and gossip from the club, and he is disappointed when she responds with groggy half-answers. #theawake3

[Mitchell Shapiro @LitEducaMitch]

Ohh red flag #theawake1
