I wonder why Madame Reisz’s song made Edna get so emotional. She must have a later connection with music but, it is not clear to me how or why yet. The most significant part in this chapter is when Edna goes out swimming. She immediately starts to actually swim by herself; she swims far away from everyone. It is interesting to me that “a quick vision of death smote her soul”. This quote might be important later, because she doesn’t dwell too much on it, though she does mention it to Mr. Pontellier.
