In this set of chapters we get hit with one curveball after another. I am blown away and on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next and if things will get any better in the coming chapters
We finally start getting into the dramatics of this text in these chapters! Maggie runs away, Mrs. Tulliver makes life harder than it has to be, and family relations become strained
These chapters are the foundation of the text. We start to see the family dynamic, get introduced to the setting and the characters, and get a feel for where the story is headed.

Wowza we are going on a roller coaster ride so strap in folx. Edna’s starting to show signs of a breakdown, and I don’t see anyone around to catch her and bring her back down to earth. The tea is hot in this one.

In these chapters we see a development of the relationship between Edna and Robert and Edna testing her own limits in the face of this newfound revelation
