... " Chapter XXXIX
Edna Pontellier, a woman no longer certain of who she is. ... Edna Pontellier is a woman trapped in the bounds of her society, her culture, her time. ...
Pg 770, Chapter XXXIX
The sea, this "water of the Gulf," is the deepest, most mysterious place Edna has ever explored. Until now, Edna had lived her life on the "white beach," a perfectly virginal island of blind men leading even more blind women. But Edna dips her toes into the dark waters and now she wishes to leave the island and swim out to a better place; or soar overhead, spying on the unseeing below. Edna swoops through the air for a while, but she flies too high, into turbulent currents, breaking her bones and her spirit.
