As I continue to read The Awakening, I keep focusing on the Mrs. Pontellier. In the upcoming chapters that I have read, I am seeing her to become fed up with her marraige. The quote “Human beings are with independent will, no locks, no bolt that can set upon the freedom of their mind.” is interesting to me because I think it has a strong connection with Mrs. Pontellier. From what I am reading I can see Mrs. Pontellier begin to apply this principle into her own life. Also I think that Mr. Pontellier is starting to care less and less about Mrs. Pontellier. Another example that would strengthen the opinion of Mr. Pontellier accepting Mrs. Pontellier for her dowry only. “Do as you wish, be as you are. You only have yourself to rely on.” is another quote I think embodies Mrs. Pontellier’s attitude.
