Edna causes the conflict, but she had every right to do so. Edna knows that her husband is not a bad man. However, she will not let him control her. Edna wakes up, and sees everything that is wrong with her marriage. Her husband tries to hold her down. Make her confine to his norms, what he feels looks good, and what he thinks is best. She does not have a lot of say, and one night she realizes this. She stands up to her husband. She finds her passion, her joy, and the life she was meant to live. She even finds her true love. Social norms tell her to forget about her lover. However, she won’t. She knows what she wants, and how it should be. She moves out of her husbands home, and into a small house that she bought with her own money. Her and her lover start their relationship. Edna get so close to winning, but social norms have a hold on her lover. He leaves her a note one night saying “I love you and that is why I must go.” Edna is in pieces. The love of her life, the one that made her see things right, the one who truly loved her, and the one that taught her to swim and be free was gone. In her pain she goes for a swim. Swimming as far as she could go out, and even though her body hurt she kept going pushing herself. Her body ran out of energy, and she refused to look back at the shore.
