Edna vs. Adéle

As reading on in the book the big thing that sticks out to me is the difference in everyone in the book. Especially the women compared to Edna. In the book the two woman that to me stick out are Edna, her friend Adèle. Edna a woman who wants to be her own person free from this time where she is nothing but a possession, she tries to show everyone the way it can be the way she believes she should be treated. She isn't like the normal woman and wives of this era she deist want to worship her husband who she didn't even get the chance to choose of she wants to marry him and she didn't get to experience life before having to have children so soon. As you find out about her friend she is the exact opposite she follows the general population of women and their everyday duties to follow orders. Adéle is the typical mother back in those days she nurtures her children and follows what her husband has to say and even gets worried about what he thinks. Unlike Edna even with this because she doesn't are about wait her husband thinks of her she is still going to do it.
