Her desires, thoughts and actions are always laced with mystery and passion that makes her an enigma and that has compelled so many to write about her. Kate Chopin has done a great job when she describes Edna with such passion and details about the frills of the thoughts one can visibly so many personalities manifesting in one single character.
