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.

Two main strategies for organizing reports are:
1. Use appropiate headings
By using appropriate headings in their reports, writers are more likely to address their readers' needs for information and makes writing tasks easier and reports more complete.
2. Develop each heading point with appropriate and understandable language.
Examples of irony that Saki uses to create satire would be options C and D. Option C is irony because Bertha felt sad that she was not going to be tempted, usually you're not sad over temptation, and for Option D it was mentioned that pigs were more important than flowers which is a bit ironic because usually that would be said the other way around.
I hope this helps! Have a good day
