The Bridges Of Francesca Analysis

Edna said to Robert, “I am no longer one of Mr. Pontellier’s possessions to dispose of or not. I give myself where I choose. If he were to say, ‘Here, Robert, take her and be happy; she is yours,’ I should laugh at you both” (Chopin 139). Prior to her saying that to him, Robert was talking about how he wished that Mr. Pontellier would set his wife free.

Without communication, there is simply no connection. A language barrier draws imagery line between people to make them feel distant on a deeper level.

Beattie criticizes the apathetic, drugged spirit of the American 1970s, arguing that replacing relationships and curiosity with the cultural norms
