Many things learnt from Edna...she is the epitome of self care and self love for me....she is fearless and bold. She perfectly understands what she wants and has perfect explanation for her likes....most will think her character as selfish, but if we try to understand, we agree with her thought process( I mean author's) novel ended tragically though...but felt happy at the end.
