Edna vs Motherhood

In the first two chapters of the book they express how Edna feels like her life is a prison. Especially her part about being a mother. She feels that her motherhood is some kind of trap that she can't get out of. She feels like she is not free to do what ever she wants. In the beginning she isn't interacting with her children what so ever. Her husband is watching them play and she is talking a walk on the beach with this person who's mother owns the vacation spot where they are. Then when the husband comes back from the hotel he goes in and checks his son Raoul which who's name we do not learn until the husband mentions it, tells his wife that he thought he had a fever. She then sits there for a couple seconds and then goes outside to sit on the porch and cry. See this shows she feels trapped within her life. We didn't find out the name of the son from her we found it out fro her drunk husband. Also, at the beginning she barely interacts with her kids. She also, mentions the kids as them or they. The father refers to them as the boys or the kids. He cares for his boys and she really doesn't have a very close relationship with her children. She goes out on the porch at the end of chapter and cries because she hates her position in life. She feels that this thing with her family is holding her back from what she could be doing out there in the world. She feels confined to spend the rest of her life with this man and these children. Also, she sat on the porch and talked to the man she was walking on the beach with. This just shows in these two little paragraphs how disinterested she is in family life and how she feels like being trapped or imprisoned in a place that you cannot get out of.
So that is what Kate Chopin is trying to show how that a character living in this time period would think that in a family you are just a piece of property and how you could have inconsequential feelings toward your family.
