Characters and Their Connections to Edna

Monday, February 4, 2013

I hope you all had a nice weekend!

Agenda:

-First, we will finish our presentations of historical movements and shifts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

We will briefly discuss your reactions to the novella thus far:
-What type of internal or external challenges is the protagonist, Edna, experiencing so far?
-How do the other women function as foils to Edna?
-How do Mr. Pontellier and Robert differ in their relationships with Edna?

-Next, you will break into pairs (you may also work individually) and you will complete a character chart. The chart will focus on the various characters and their connections to Edna. Make sure you specify a page number and quote that supports each of the five characters. You are welcome to note more than five!

Homework:

-Complete the two questions relating to the character chart and your findings

-Reading: Pgs. 60-82 (XVI-XX)

-Prepare for reading quiz tomorrow!
