Which archetypal character does Edna represent in this passage? Edna Pontellier could not have told why, wishing to go to the beach with Robert, she should in the first place have declined, and in the second place have followed in obedience to one of the two contradictory impulses which impelled her. A certain light was beginning to dawn dimly within her,—the light which, showing the way, forbids it. (from The Awakening by Kate Chopin) A.faithful servant B.sinner C.princess D.struggling spirit
Do you have any guesses on this one?
I would say either B or D because it sounds like shes thinking a way she shouldn't be
"... two contradictory impulses which impelled her..." This sounds to me like she's conflicted inside, struggling maybe...
