Betrayel and Concern

I feel that Mrs. Pontellier is starting to get more annoyed with the way that she was living before. When she was laying on the hammock and Mr. Pontellier was telling her to come in “she heard him moving about the room; every sound indicating impatience and irritation. Another time she would have gone at his request. She would, through habit, have yielded to his desire; not with any sense of submission or obedience to his compelling wishes, but unthinkingly, as we walk, move, sit, stand, go through the daily treadmill of the life which has been portioned out to us.” (page 41). I think she finally realized how much she just doing whatever he wanted her to do. She was concerned that she was following other things that he was telling her to do. The longer she stays with Robert, the farther apart Mrs. Pontellier and Mr. Pontellier became in their relationship. When she found out that Robert was going to Mexico she felt betrayed. I think that’s because she doesn’t want to have to spend more time with her husband.
