Summary, Analysis, and Original Text by Chapter

Chapter 19

Edna moves into full-fledged rebellion. She abandons all social and household duties, spending time instead painting in a small studio she's set up on the top floor of their house. As she paints, she mentally recalls the details of her time with Robert and sings the song "si tu savais" which he sang to her. Her consistent insubordination causes Léonce to wonder about her mental health.
