Touching the father’s feet signifies both respect and authority for him by the devoted son. This show of respect and authority has been embedded to the son, he stopped touching his father’s feet but he carried with him the authority and respect he felt for his father even after becoming a doctor. The devoted son continuously showed his father the respect and authority and this somehow has taken a toll on their relationship especially when the father was succumb to sickness. He showed his respect and authority to his father by ensuring that he lived as long as the son can provide by giving the father the necessary medications. This displeased the father because he felt the other way around.

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.
