that the "pigeon house" is a good place for Edna to live because she never was able to break free from the domesticated life successfully.

I thought so too. Even though she's trying to break free, she's still tethered to domestic life. So much bird imagery in this book!

true, but with as often as Chopin uses the images there is more going on with them

them to achieve freedom?
