He just flits from woman to woman, and he doesn't really seem like he has a heartfelt commitment to a specific one. I think that he may think that he loves Edna, simply because liking someone and "being in love" are warm fuzzy feelings that are exciting, but I don't think that he is truly in love with her. I don't think his devotion stems from respect.christashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16643364755105219701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055504461966994259.post-80485684499438876702008-02-26T13:15:00.002-08:002008-02-26T13:15:00.002-08:00Julia-I personally think that Robert doesn't respe...Julia-<BR/><BR/>I personally think that Robert doesn't respect her. It's his job as a husband to attend to his wife. He realizes that she is different, that she wants more independence, and so he tells her that he respects her as a way to keep her close to him. When in reality, he could care less, he jsut doesn't want to lose his wife.jberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317251856682090098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055504461966994259.post-31573341816104074272008-02-26T13:15:00.001-08:002008-02-26T13:15:00.001-08:00Jess--Way to represent the greatness of 6th hour.Jess--Way to represent the greatness of 6th hour.krumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172800181209023872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055504461966994259.post-5228898996107113852008-02-26T13:15:00.000-08:002008-02-26T13:15:00.000-08:00JESS!I agree that there are always characters that...JESS!<BR/>I agree that there are always characters that try to rebel<BR/><BR/>There was also that one person that said that she only following religon because it was a habit.
