A) asserting her independence and rejecting the traditional role of a wife
This is one of the first novels that is centered in the role of the woman (written by a woman). The character, Edna Pontellier is what we now describe as a <em>"feminist</em>".
She lives in a world where the only role she is supposed to have is to be a mother and a wife. She rebels against it and she get involved in several affairs. His husband even calls a doctor as he is afraid she is mentally ill.
In a moment of the novel, her children are sent away with their grandmother and her husband goes on a trip. Edna is left alone and she moves to a little bungalow, which is useful to think about her life.

Would you rather be normal?
Do you like being different than normal humans?
Do you want to be seen as a creature/monster or as just another human?
