Understanding the life of Willam Dean Howells will give a new light to what Editha is truly about.
Howells was already involved with the country's social issues more so come 1887 when the Haymarket radicals were executed. It is through Editha that he showed his great dislike for Spanish-American war as he thought of it as imperialistic.
The need for America to gain power and prove it self-superior to other countries during the said war, which leads to the loss of many lives. This is similar to Editha's views on the correctness and necessity of war, to which because of his love for Editha, her fiance George, loses his life as well.

Bad White [126]

Answer:

His hands started to sweat. Beads of salty water ran down his forehead, running away from the fear and nervous feeling. He peeked over the edge, noticing how far the ground was below. His heart stopped, taking in the fear of falling. He tightened his hands around the thin straps of the parachute. His heart stopped and started beating quickly at the same time. His mind was in a swirl. His thoughts trying to pull himself away from the edge of the airplane. He looked at the ground one more time. He closed his eyes, hoping that it would be over soon, as he jumped out the plane.
