what is your impression? My own thoughts about this would be yes personally, but with her ??

I'm really not sure. Although i feel bad for her, it frustrates me that she is very selfcentered with her desires. Poor Mr. Pontellier

Desires are nothing if not self centered (or at least self serving) but why pity him? Is he a sympathetic character?

Though she isn't the best wife, he certainly isn't the best husband either. Not to place the blame on either side- they're simply ill-suited
