Six Word Story of the Awakening by Kate Chopin

Up to the point to which I have read, which is page 95 (of 155), I have created two "six word stories" that summarize the novel, and I cannot seem to choose between the two of them. Due to my bewilderment, I have decided to put both of them in this blog post.

1. Young wife discovering love and freedom.

2. Wife contradicting the era's social expectations.

The first was my original sentence, however as I read a bit further, I decided that the main character, Edna Pontellier, was not necessarily discovering freedom, since she has so many restrictions set upon her by society.
