As indicated in our discussions for chapters 6-11, Edna does through an emotional, physical, and intellectual awakening as the chapters continue forward. We have motifs of light, lovers, a woman in black, the sea, birds; we have outlier characters bonding with Edna like her "sun" Robert and the "homely" Mademoiselle Reisz; we have Edna without an instructive mother figure and Robert lacking a father figure, causing further issues with their roles in society. I'm sure there's a lot more to our discussions today, but those are the main ideas that are still floating in the atmosphere.
This is one last reminder that is you miss any form of discussion, it is up to you to show me notes regarding the topic/chapters as soon as you return. As you have the blog to keep you up to date with readings, you have the opportunity to not fall behind with readings, analysis, or anything else with AP Lit.
For Wednesday, you need to be through Chapter 22 - we have a great deal of over-analysis to do and it involves very thorough individual close readings.
