In chapter 11 of,” The Awakening,” written by Kate Chopin, Mr. Pontellier comes home late to find his wife wide awake in the hammock. He asks her multiple times to come inside the house but each time she stubbornly declines. Usually, Edna would have done what he wanted but this time she decided that she was going to do what she wanted. Leonce drank some wine and offered his wife a glass but she declined it. He smoked two cigars and then went to bed, leaving Edna outside in the hammock.
