@mikeleanza1 #falzawake212 being misunderstood =/= being a good person, she may not be a bad person but her actions aren't good either. even feminist progressive women can be bad. I support what she stood for, doesn't mean ALL her actions were good....

#falzawake212 edna's an interesting protagonist because she's not heroic. we can understand where her thoughts are coming from but shes extremely flawed and her actions are deplorable

[arielle @ariellerab]

@mikeleanza1 #falzawake212 break from your kids =/= abandoning them....... i understand she didn't want kids and that wasnt for her but she barely acknowledged them. just because shes the protagonist doesnt mean shes good

@Bridget00904387 #falzawake212 tru but mdm ratignolle seemed to like her marriage and she was fulfilled.....

@JDRyan2004 #falzawake212 no i think it makes sense, shes separating herself from the society that has oppressed her🦉

@_kadams14 #falzawake212 i would then argue mlle reisz is the real hero of the book. #imo

#falzawake212 interesting how chopin includes mdm ratignolle, did she not know she was in an oppressive sitch and was happy or did she just not care? she only lived to serve her husb and kids

#falzawake212 cigars represent male dominance. robert didnt smoke one until the end when he finally rejected edna

@nikitaschool true she was very privileged. if there was a woman not of her status, they couldn't just leave her children the way Edna could.

[arielle @ariellerab]

#falzawake212 Edna lets her impulses control her life. Chopin notes the childish nature in Edna's actions, and Mlle Reisz calls her out on it. She moves out seemingly on a whim and like a child does not think her actions through. seems shes too impulsive/immature to raise kids

@dcostabileshsd @DElliott_ #falzawake212 she was a worse mother. abandoned her children
