Our Choice

During times, humans have been raised to follow social constraints. It is Kate Chopin that expresses her concern towards the people that don't overcome what society wants, that are always trying to satisfy others above them. With the character of Edna, Chopin shows how a single human can change to make life a pleasure at least for a little time. As Kate Chopin writes, "how few of us ever emerge from such beginnings!"(pg.35). Robert, is one of the emerging souls. He follows his desires and does what will make him happy. During their visit to the Grand Isle, Robert choses to abandon everything and leaves to Mexico, however he comes back and becomes a perish soul thus succumbing to what society expects from him.
