Robert is Edna's 'true love' in the novel. He provides Edna with a sexual and emotional outlet. However, when he leaves to go to Mexico, Edna finally begins to create her own identity without a man.

  1. Robert
    1. He is a picture of the gallant, chivalrous male who serves a women even if he can't have her - courtly love
    2. He is a romantic/sentimentalist at heart
    3. He cares about Edna, but he seems unable to risk the wrath of society to have her
    4. He is young, somewhat immature, evidenced by his running away, his wishy-washy behavior at times
