This book got a little bit better. I’m guessing that the conflict of the story will be about Mrs. Pontellier and some battle she has with herself and her feelings. She seems like a really weird lady. I think she married her husband because he adored her and she couldn’t marry the man she wanted to marry. She probably regrets marrying her husband now because she doesn’t love him and he doesn’t really pay much attention to her. I’m not quite sure if Robert is a servant or not. He might just be this guy who hangs around the island to flirt with all of the married ladies. I don’t really like this book. It’s boring so far. There still isn’t much of a plot and the events are all very slow and boring. I hope the book gets better because right now it is really hard for me to stay awake while reading it.
I now understand where this book is going and what the purpose of it is. Edna loves Robert BIG TIME! I have no idea if he loves her; he might, but I’m not really sure. I don’t have any idea at all why he is going to Mexico and why he might stay there for a really long time. The book is still kind of boring. I don’t think it will get much better. The rest of the book may just be about Edna “mourning” over losing of Robert but I’m not really sure. I do think that Mr. Pontellier will somehow find out that Edna loves Robert and get extremely mad at her. They might end up getting a divorce and Edna would go to Mexico to live with Robert. I don’t really think that will happen, but it would be a really cool ending. I also hope that the book gets better. That would be extremely awesome.
This book is not getting any better. It just talks about how Edna is roaming around her town and doing nothing in particular since Robert left. She has stopped doing her motherly duties and does not try to keep her house clean or well kept. She has also stopped visiting most people with the exception of a few of her friends. She is very lonely and is letting all of her angry feelings out on everyone else. I would not be surprised if she and her husband got a divorce. I also would not be surprised if she died or was sent to an insane asylum at the end of the book. I do not really see why this book is supposed to be so good. There isn’t a plot. Edna does a bunch of random little things that don’t seem to be leading the story anywhere in particular. I really don’t like this book and it is still extremely boring.
I still think that this book is really bad. Edna just gets a thrill out of flirting with other men. That’s all that the story is about. She likes to defy her husband and flirt with other men. Now I’m pretty sure that instead of dying or being sent to an insane asylum at the end, I’m thinking she will end up going a little too far with a man and her and her husband will get divorced. That would not be surprising at all. I still don’t see a plot in this book. Edna randomly flirts with some man and that’s about it. I could see how doing that would be a big deal back in the 1800s when this book was written but I don’t really think that this would be such a huge deal today. Maybe I’m wrong about that idea, but I don’t really know. I just don’t see a point to this book and that’s probably a lot of the reason why I find it so boring.
The book has gotten a little better throughout the last section. Edna is leaving her old house and moving into a smaller and cozier house because her husband is away on business. That isn’t a very big surprise. Although her husband is having their house remodeled in order to keep a scandal at bay, I highly doubt that a scandal can be avoided when the remodeling is finished. It is very easy to tell that Edna is moving into the smaller house because she doesn’t love her husband and wants to live alone where it is okay for her to do as she pleases and flirt with other men. Robert is coming back and Edna is thrilled, but I don’t know if she is actually in love with him or if she just likes the idea of being in love with him. She has been getting very cozy with Arobin lately and she might just like the idea of rebelling against her husband by being around other men. I don’t really know what will happen in the ending now but I hope that the ending is really good.
I was very surprised at the ending of this book. It was written very well and I actually liked it. It was kind of a predictable ending: Robert and Edna tell each other they love each other and Robert leaves so that Edna doesn’t get in trouble. I also think that Edna died at the end of the book but I’m not quite sure. She went into the ocean and drifted off at the end and she might have drowned but the book did not actually say. I thought the ending of this book was the best part. I can now see where there was a little plot woven into the story that became very evident at the end of the book. I think that if the author would have written the rest of the book how she wrote the ending, the whole book would have been a whole lot better.
Didn't the passage of background information say that Antigone was a victim of Creon's hubris? Some of you are suggesting that Antigone is the tragic hero. Thoughts on that.

Chapters I-V
This book is really bad so far. There is absolutely no plot. The characters talk to each other, sew things, and go on business trips. That’s about it. I guess that Mrs. Pontellier is insecure about her marriage and her husband leaving to go back to New Orleans. Mr. Pontellier could care less about his family; he just wants to make a lot of money and give everybody the impression that he is the perfect husband when he isn’t. Mademoiselle Duvigné likes to sew and have babies. Robert is just a big old flirt who I’m guessing is supposed to be a servant. I’m not really sure about that though. This is basically what I’ve gotten out of this book so far. It’s boring and I hope it gets better. If a real plot developed sometime soon that would make the book a whole lot better because right now I’m just reading about these people who live on Grand Isle and do whatever they want because they feel like it. That just makes for a really boring story.
