But to manage a household, have a desirable influence in society, keep her friends and the affections of her husband, train her children and servants well, she must have rare common sense, wisdom, diplomacy, and knowledge of human nature” (Stanton 2).

They 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 181).

He could see plainly that she was not herself. That is, he could not see that she was becoming herself and daily casting aside that fictitious self which we would assume like a garment with which to appear before the world" (Chopin 75).]]> 2017-06-08 14:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/18shortalle/lax7scpptp94/wish/175747167 "Solitude of Self" 18shortalle https://padlet.com/18shortalle/lax7scpptp94/wish/175747280  “Man’s love and sympathy enter only into the sunshine of our lives” (Stanton 3). 

"Whatever the theories may be of woman's dependence on man, in the supreme moments of her life he can not bear her burdens" (Stanton 3).

In both texts it is referred to that men do not address the needs of women. When faced with emotional issues that their wives are experiencing, or even difficult situations that they are facing, men avoid helping. They do not know how to handle another person’s hurting. For example, even though Mr. Pontellier recognizes Edna’s troubles, he does nothing to help her. ]]> 2017-06-08 15:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/18shortalle/lax7scpptp94/wish/175747788 Explanation 18tabeles https://padlet.com/18shortalle/lax7scpptp94/wish/175748005 According to Stanton and Chopin’s depiction of a mother, they are typically viewed as being weak and constantly protected from life by her husband. For a mother, their soul purpose in life is dedicated to looking after their children and worshiping their husbands, in doing so they are subsequently viewed in an angelic light.  Stanton and character Edna, created by Chopin, both challenge the societal expectation of the role of a mother.
