The Creole society of that time did not take affairs lightly. It was possible that they would be looked down upon for the rest of their lives or even disowned from their families. He is also surprised and somewhat threatened by her newfound independence. When Edna gets home from Madame Adele’s house, she finds a note from Robert saying that he loves her deeply but their relationship cannot be. Edna stays awake literally and figuratively; the awakening Robert has begun in her consumes her as she comes to some harsh realizations.
In one of her more revealing moments, she threatens to have the black stable-hand lynched if he complains about her to the boss. Her insistence on flirting with Lennie seals her unfortunate fate. Although Steinbeck does, finally, offer a sympathetic view of Curley’s wife by allowing her to voice her unhappiness and her own dream for a better life, women have no place in the author’s idealized vision of a world structured around the brotherly bonds of men.

Its just like a women who is in a abusive relationship and we wonder why the never leave. Its because once someone adapted to a certain life style the desire for change is slim to none. The narrative made it clear that she didn’t fit in with the people in her town but feared leaving because that lifestyle was all she ever known.
This is what creates isolation, lonely feelings to in the end due to her suicide. Madame Ratignolle’s childbirth sparks Edna’s suicide, which is an Ironic moment. Edna observed “with an inward agony, with a flaming, outspoken revolt against the ways id Nature, the scene of torture.” During this Edna tries to recall her own childhood but fails to do so. Than once Edna swims out far into the sea at the island, she is going to swim out far enough of no return, possibly. “To her
I felt unwanted, I dreaded my surroundings, was sickened by the aurora of my environment, Like how Lutie felt about her building in which she lived in. I felt trapped in my environment; any opportunity I failed in obtaining gave me less and less hope about escaping my environment. Lutie had high hopes that her singing gig would be her escape route from living on 116th street and it was put to an end when Junto had different plans for her and refused to give her salary.

Her suspicions and theories point to nowhere, and her perceptions are always changing. Her ship is lost in the fog, and she fails to save her
The Third Verse shows that she has ripped gloves as she has no money to buy nice things. In the Music Video she is wearing a raincoat in the pouring rain which symbolises her sadness. I reckon Ed Sheran is trying to show that she is drowning with bad things in her life and that she is trying to stay afloat and overcome her addiction but she just keeps getting pulled back into her same old routine. She only has loose change and she keeps on getting bank notes which I am thinking is bills that she cannot pay, so she is getting sick and tired. I think she has weary eyes because all she seems to be doing is crying and she has a dry throat because she is smoking cocaine which makes her get the effect of having a dry throat.
