This is the part that covers Edna's affair with Arobin. It is interesting to me that she can go from disliking him to having an affair with him, though such actions are not unheard of. This accentuates her real intent behind the affair, which was in fact not affections for Arobin but instead a desire to be independent and to fulfill physical desires just like she knew that men in the culture were allowed to do. It is all about the rebellion.
The other part that gets me is that she is afraid that she is being un chaste- but it is Robert that she is thinking of, not her husband. This shows that she is already independent from him in thought, but dependent, instead on someone else.
