“She had said over and over to herself: “To-day it is Arobin; to-morrow it will be some one else. It makes no difference to me; it doesn’t matter about Leonce Pontellier- but Raoul and Etienne!” She understood now clearly what she had meant long ago when she said to Adele Ratignolle that she would give up the unessential, but she would never sacrifice herself for her children.” Page 123
Edna Pontellier is a changed woman by the end; she could understand things now that she couldn’t have comprehended before, all because she gave up the life of not being heard and decided to take control of her life. The most important part of her life was finding herself, it is important for everyone to do this in life. To set their own goals and succeed in things one wishes to succeed in. But to do this one must break free from anything or anyone holding them down.
