Edna seems to be rather ‘wild’, unpredictable, careless, and unashamed of her actions. At first she seemed like a pretty normal person, but over the course of the summer something changed her greatly. She abandoned her household and wifely duties, with the excuse that she wanted to paint. While her husband is caring and sensible, he fails to understand her odd and offensive ways and leaves for a while. While he is gone she falls in love with Alcee, who adores her. She even moved out of their old house into a smaller one. It is saddening that she abandons her family and loyal husband, and is so careless about it as well. It appears as though she just dropped her old life and went on to the next, with no regrets.
