Ch 10-14, Ch 15-19, and Ch 20-24
Having now read the entire book, that scene where Edna is really swimming in the water for the first time is much more interesting. It sort of foreshadows the end in a way.
The scene where she refuses to go inside the house when her husband tells her to is interesting because at the end, he does not go in when she asks him if he is going to when she goes in. It makes the whole scene slightly pointless in achievement, but it is the first time Edna really does what she wants to purposefully.
Edna's journey to the island or wherever is one of the weirder parts of the book. It's told in a sort of vague way, as if Edna is dreaming it.
Also: I just realized this about ch 9. The song that Mademoiselle Reisz plays at the end is by Frederc Chopin. Did Kate Chopin choose a composer with the same last name as her for a reason? Maybe to relate Mademoiselle Reisz with her? It's interesting to think about.

I've also turned over the idea of her selection of composers in my head. I haven't really decided what I think about it yet, but it's definitely interesting.
