Adele also brings constant attention to her pregnancy in ways Edna finds to be somewhat inappropriate. “She was keeping up her music on account of the children, she said because she and her husband both considered it a means of brightening the home and making it attractive” (Chopin 27). “ were women who idolized their children, worshipped their husbands and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels” (Chopin 10).Īdele is described as being a fairly talented pianist, yet even the very personal act of creating music is performed for the sake of her children. Adele Ratignolle is the epitome of the male-defined wife and mother. In the world of Edna Pontellier one can either be defined by men or live a life separate from the rest of society.
