For instance on page 18 Edna said that her marriage was an “accident” and she really didn’t have much say. Marrying Léonce was also her own way of rebellion because he was Catholic and she was different from him. She also said that she was “ fond of her children in an uneven, impulsive way”. She didn’t have that maternal feeling or love all the time for them which set her apart from other mothers. Finally on page 19 Robert is told to stay away from Edna because she isn’t like everyone else. Edna didn’t like to conform to society and the “institutional and personal voices” , although it was minimal she rebelled from her role in society. ]]> 2019-10-08 13:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395019467 meyg1231 https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395025262 The institutional voice shown in these pages can be seen through Mademoiselle Reisz as she represents someone very similar to Edna. She is an older woman who rebels against the societal norms of patriarchal society, hence why she favors Edna. Symbolism/ Institutional voice is also seen through the performance of “Solitude”. Edna’s naming of the piece shows her inner feelings as she feels isolated from the world and has been raised differently from the slowly changing world. Picturing a bird flying away from a man on a desert island, Edna is the isolated man while resenting the bird’s ability to freedom. The epiphany the Edna has after the performance shows a sort of “awakening” that she has which begins a new found longing for freedom in Edna’s life.]]> 2019-10-08 13:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395025262 https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395025862                       Group 6 - pages 30-32
        In chapter 11, the institutional voice present in the narrative is mainly patriarchal. Léonce addresses Edna with an objectified tone, as shown on page 31. “‘This is more than folly,’ he said. ‘I can’t permit you to stay out there all night. You must come in the house instantly.’” This quote expresses the robotic nature of the relationship between Edna and Léonce. Their communication is pretty much non-existant, and Léonce remains strictly traditional regarding his wife.
       The personal voice present in this chapter is focused through Edna’s sudden rebellious behavior towards her husband. Her resistance in this scene hints at the introduction of her emotional realization and awakening. An example of this is on page 31 as well. “‘Don’t speak to me like that again; I shall not answer you.’” This aggressive speech implies that Edna knows her relationship with Léonce is a failure and desires something better.]]> 2019-10-08 13:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395025862 https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395029973 - Edna strayed from the others one night, going out to swim as she had been practicing recently. This simple swim was a pivotal turning point for her and her character development, and portrayed her personal voice. This was like a rebirth for her, a new found freedom, no longer holding herself back. (“How easy it is! ... Think of the time I have lost splashing about like a baby!” Pg 27)  She realizes now what she can do, that she has choice and independence, everything she thought she knew was being challenged; she was seeing herself in a different light. 
- Even after that turning point, there was an instance of institutional voice when Edna was speaking to Robert about her recent swimming experience. He seems to make a joke of it, twisting it into a story, and she takes offense, not understanding the emotion and connection Robert is putting behind it, trying to sympathize with her. (“Don’t banter me... flippancy.” Pg 29)]]> 2019-10-08 13:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395029973 https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395032006 In Pages 14-15 clothes are a symbol of a restrictive society during the time. “She wore a cool muslin that morning—white, with a waving vertical line of brown running through it”. This is evidence of Ednas attempt to externalize her internal feelings. Her independence and her want to be an individual is externalizing in her physical appearance. The vertical brown line is Edna’s attempt at becoming an individual. Edna is trying to free herself from the restraints of society's  standards. 

 “She was dress in Pure white, with a fluffiness of ruffles that became her” While Madame Ratignolle is the perfect representation of the institutionalize voices of society and their expectation. How a woman should be dress and how they should look. This is a contrast of Edna who is trying to dismantle the institutionalize expectations of society with her brown vertical line. While Edna doesn’t realize the extent of her subtle actions, it contributes greatly to her awakening. 

"Edna removed her collar and opened her dress by her throat" 
Edna unbuttoning her dress only by her throat symbolizes her want to be free to express herself. To finally speak out and let herself be heard despite the expectations of society and her role as a woman they expect her to conform to.]]> 2019-10-08 13:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/395032006 taorminaan1 https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/396150199 " She was not accustomed to an outward and spoken expression of affection" The institutional voice speaks volume here in that society expects women to suppress their emotions.

" The action was at first a little confusing to Edna, but she soon lent herself readily to the Creole's gentle caress " 
Edna here experiences the expression of affection in a manner not traditional to how she was brought up. This leads Edna to see how reserved she's been the majority of her life and she sets out to be free from that. ]]> 2019-10-10 13:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/taorminaan1/v1e5b1yw16bk/wish/396150199
