The book opens with a parrot, a repetitive bird that always follows what people say. In #TheAwake39 we see a bird falling with broken wings.

Edna asks why Robert has been hiding his feeling as if he had no reason. She can forget about Léonce so easily #TheAwake36

stupor (noun):

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

@LogConway I agree, she doesn't have to wear a "fictitious self" in a lonesome environment because no one is there to see or judge.

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

@KatieBuntin3 i think she responded in a new way bc it may have given her hope in escaping her marriage after rebelling societal opinions.

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

To forget about Edna, Robert doesn't write to her. Edna doesn't know he still cares so she probably kisses Arobin as her rebound to move on.

Typically, women are not referred to as handsome. I find this interesting because Edna crushes gender roles and stereotypes. #TheAwake20

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

Throughout these chapters, I do not think it is a coincidence that Robert begins to distance himself while Mr. Pontellier is home. #TheAwake

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

sardonically (adj.): characterized by bitter or scornful derision; mocking; cynical; sneering #TheAwake15

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

When Léonce comes home, Edna says, "Don't speak to me like that again, I shall not answer you." Will he stop demanding her? #TheAwake11

@rach_karan #TheAwake10

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

Edna speaks of how she misses Robert when he is gone for one day, but never talks about missing her husband like this when he is always away

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

i find it interesting that it is mentioned the twins play from "Zampa" and "The Poet and the Peasant", both for the second time #TheAwake9

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

I wonder how Mr. Pontellier would have responded if Edna had gone to the beach with Robert and he found out…💭 #TheAwake7

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

How old are the Pontellier boys? #TheAwake

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

encumbrance (n): a burden or impediment #TheAwake4

[rachel karan @rach_karan]

if Mrs. Pontellier really meant as much to Mr. Pontellier as he says she does, he would not be treating her so poorly #TheAwake3

I think that the bird at the beginning of the first chapter will have some type of symbolism later in the story #theawake1
