In the story's opening scene, her husband Mr Pontellier rocks in a chair on the porch, perusing the stock market reports. It's hard for us now to picture an "Edna" as anything but a silver-haired matron, 80 if she's a day, stalwart bosom like a ship's prow … Let's erase that mental picture before it sinks in.Įddye, then, is an energetic twentysomething, blond, brown-eyed, with two little boys, a husband and a captivating restlessness.
