It is difficult for women to challenge and overcome female roles that are deeply engrained in a society.

Explanation:

This is the theme that is best reflected in this passage. In these lines, we see that Edna feels trapped in her marriage, and sick of this situation, she throws her ring to the carpet and tries to destroy it. However, she realizes it is indestructible. The ring is meant to symbolize Edna's marriage, and her role as a woman and a wife. The fact that she cannot destroy it shows how resilient institutions like this are and how it is difficult for women to challenge and overcome female roles that are deeply engrained in a society.
