Stuck

There often comes a time in a marriage where a series of feelings of regret comes into play. Taking Edan, she is looking back in the days where she did love her husband as support to try to recreate those feeling that are no longer there. Guilt will begin to come in and the dissatisfaction that she was simply not able to keep going with her marriage. those feeling turn into anger later on when she reacts to the music played by Mademoiselle Reisz. The most likely possibility is leans to that old feeling of love no longer being there and then being replaced by something darker. In this particular situation, there is little room to blame someone other than herself since she is sharing these emotions only with herself.

This is pure evidence that in a truly stable marriage, the feeling to the other person on the long run certainly counts even if there is still a constant supply of physical objects to enforce the love. This is also proof that after a certain time, a person's love for another may wear off and produce a strong mix of feeling that will typically end in the wrong place. At this point, Edan remembers loving and tries to apply that feeling to the present and see if it's there. Since it's not, she can only think of how things were and image how they would be if it were still in the same condition. She is stuck in the life that she feared most of having and lost what she feared most of loosing. From here on in, she will be either forced to live the life, or find an alternative that may cause further conflict within the story.
