Sleepy!!

Someone seems to feel drowsy and troubled in the middle of church service. And no, it's not Mr. Bean!:

''A feeling of oppression and drowsiness overcame Edna during the service. Her head began to ache, and the lights on the altar swayed before her eyes. Another time she might have made an effort to regain her composure ; but her one thought was to quit the stifling atmosphere of the church and reach the open air.'' (Chapter XIII, Pg 74)

We see in this passage, how something as simple as having the feeling of sleepiness or drowsiness in church, which can happen to anyone really, is turned into a very detailed and complex imagery situation. At the moment she feels that she has to do something she would not normally do, and that is exit the church to get open air.

The way that Kate Chopin manages to describe this very simple scenes into very complex and detailed, is something that I am kind of used to seeing, particularly with all the stories my grandma tells. I'm not sure why my grandmother became a writer, but well, apparently, Kate Chopin did take her talents to some use.
