Chopin also presents the injustices towards women through Adele’s overwhelmed exclamations of panic.While Edna sits and observes, Adele says things such as “there is no use” and “This is too much!” (168). The extremity of Adele’s words represent the level of her frustration. Adele’s outbursts not only convey her discomfort,…
