Surprise...Not Really

As I start to finish up The Awakening by Kate Chopin some events happened that I was not to surprised about. As we can infer, Edna took her own life in the ocean. To many this is a big surprise and is pretty shocking. But, I was not really shocked when I read this. In the past few parts of The Awakening you can see Mrs. Pontellier get stressed out. Every time she goes to the ocean she feels free and at home. She feels as if this is the only place where she can be herself and not feel the pressure of the society that she lives in. From the beginning of The Awakening I could tell that something drastic like this might happen. I feel like Kate Chopin did a good job of setting up this major event. It was just easy to tell that this was going to happen.
