Enda’s party seems like a big hit with the guests, but yet Edna still finds there is something missing in her life. She once again relies on the comfort of Alcee, the man she continues to experiment with while her husband and Robert are still gone. However, Robert does return and the two lovers of Edna finally meet. It was a very awkward scene. Both men confront each other and there definitely seems to be a tension between the two of them. Robert does the right thing in leaving Enda in this section. He shouldn’t put up with it. However, we see that Alcee has no self-respect and is just in it for the physical attraction.
Another side of this section also covers the reaction by Edna’s husband over her moving. Yes, we can confirm that her husband is a complete jerk. His only true feeling about her moving is that it will ruin his reputation. He even goes as far to put an ad out that says they are remodeling their house, and Edna and him will be vacationing. Leonce would rather spend thousands on renovating a house that doesn’t even need renovating to protect his stature in the society. He truly must not have any feelings for his wife, and they both should agree to split. The rest of the book seems to be a downhill travel for Edna.
