"Every step she took toward relieving herself from obligations added to her strength and expansion as an individual. She began to look with her own eyes; to see and apprehend the deeper undercurrents of life. No longer was she content to 'feed upon the opinion' when her own soul had invited her." -- Excerpt Energized and filled with desire to define her own life, Edna casts aside the 1890's bourgeoisie strictures and values. However her happiness is tragically short-lived, ruined by a society intolerant of a liberated woman who breaks the "proper" rules.
