The Awakening Chapter 11 Summary

Mr. Pontellier comes home to find Edna still lying in the hammock.
He suggests that she come inside. It’s past one in the morning.
When she still refuses to go inside, he repeats his request, finally putting on his best authoritative voice and commanding her to go inside.
Edna uncharacteristically continues to defy her husband’s wishes. She wonders why she ever used to acquiesce.
Mr. Pontellier finally goes back inside, pours himself a glass of wine and grabs a few cigars. He takes the wine and cigars outside.
He offers Edna some wine. After she refuses, he sits down beside her to drink his own wine, and then smokes several cigars.
Edna finally grows stiff from lying in the hammock; she totters into the house and asks if he’s coming.
The answer is no. Mr. Pontellier does as he pleases.
