The issue of finding her reasoning for existence are definitely present in the novel as we see Edna come to terms with her true form of identity. We see her acting on impulses instead of overthinking her every action. But she really doesn’t understand the way she is feeling. The depressed actions start to occur as she denies these impulses.When we see Edna start to come out of her shell it represents the awakening of her true inner self that has been hiding below the lower portion of her mind. Edna’s newly independence of her identity feels to her like a dream but that comes crashing to a halt once she returns to Grand Isle. In order for Edna finds greater fulfillment as a human being she has to make an important decision that could guide her subconscious up and beyond.

I completely agree with this. Edna is finally becoming her true self instead of who everyone wants her to be. By the end she realizes she was also holding herself back, and she gives herself the freedom she has been searching for.
ReplyDeleteI also agree! I think it's inspirational in a way that she is rebelling against the norms of society and becoming her own person and making her own choices.
