"Kate Chopin uses internal conflict within Edna Pontellier to impact the plot and show how she is changing. Edna is attempting to find herself throughout the book and there is a moment where Edna learns how to swim and felt "as if some power of significant import had been given her to control the working of her body" (52). This symbolizes her growth as a woman who realizes she can do things without her husband." — Sep 25, 2026 10:52AM
