 Consider Edna Pontellier’s decision to pursue love and desire beyond her marriage in The Awakening. To what extent do you think the pressures of gender role expectations excuse, or fail to excuse, her affair with another man?

Prompt Response:  I believe she should go to somebody else if she's not happy. Do not jump to conclusions based on a single argument or feeling unhappy. You should talk about these things before you cheat or get divorced. There is no excuse to have an affair; it's morally wrong, and it won't make you happy.

Summary: affairs are wrong and will never end good

Reflection: i learned more about relationships
