Parrots, Hands, Cigars, Oh My!

Well, thus far into the first five chapters we have color symbolism, motifs, nonchalant characterization for everyone but Adele and Madame LeBrun, foils of motherhood and hands, nameless servants and children, and a milieu not allowing communication to prosper. With such instantaneous literary devices, you know they will be coming back to haunt the ever handsome Edna as she looks more and more to that freedom-inspiring sea. In all classes, we still have a smattering of chapters 1-5 to discuss, so that will be wrapped up tomorrow and then we will go into chapters 6-11 with a little small group discussion to mix it up a bit. 

F.Y.I. I don't have another Awakening-inspired shoe choice for tomorrow, so I hoped you enjoyed today's pair, the ones AP Lit voted for last year in honor of our darling Edna, the first of the misfit toys that we will be reading about in our future texts.
