So far in the book, The Awakening, Mrs. is saying good bye to her husband because he's going off to work. She asks if he'll be home for dinner even though she knows Pontellier he won't. That's exactly the answer she gets too. He ends up coming home late at night. He eventually has to go away on a business trip for awhile, leaving her to take care of the kids by herself. That's what she's used to, though. He mails her and the children gifts from where he's at to show he's thinking of them. Mrs. Pontellier doesn't seem very happy i  her marriage to me. She almost seems like she's trapped in misery with her marriage. I get the feeling that she feels alone even with the children at her house with her. She still acts like everything is okay when really everything is falling apart. I wonder where the story is going to go from here. Is she going to stay in the marriage? is she going to leave her husband? I can't wait to read more and find out. This link gives a little more information about the characters, settings, ect. about Kate Chopin's book, The Awakening.
