A self-possessed person is one who is very assured of his or her own capabilities, is quite calm and collected, and just generally cool.
Having this in mind, the way that the character of the niece can be described is B. confident.

Illusion [34]

<span>I think that the author decided to begin passage 2 with a description of the city in order to  immerse the reader in the environment and the conditions in which babbitts are. The writer only wants to emphasize that a situation in which babbitts are, somehow has a connection with the area in which they are located, that is the city.</span>

How does Edna’s character illustrate the theme that society pressures women to fill specific roles? Use examples and evidence fr
Y_Kistochka [10]
 Edna Pontellier was a controversial character. She upset many nineteenth century expectations for women and their supposed roles. One of her most shocking actions was her denial of her role as a mother and wife. Kate Chopin displays this rejection gradually, but the concept of motherhood is major theme throughout the novel.
Edna is fighting against the societal and natural structures of motherhood that force her to be defined by her title as wife of Leonce Pontellier and mother of Raoul and Etienne Pontellier, instead of being her own, self-defined individual. Through Chopin’s focus on two other female characters, Adele Ratignolle and Mademoiselle Reisz, Edna’s options of life paths are exhibited.
These women are the examples that the men around Edna contrast her with and from whom they obtain their expectations for her. Edna, however, finds both role models lacking and begins to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. The inevitability of her fate as a male-defined creature brings her to a state of despair, and she frees herself the only way she can, through suicide.
