Edna began to feel uneasy. she was seized with a vague dread. her own like experiences seemed far away, unreal, and only half remembered. she recalled faintly an ecstasy of pain, the heavy odor of chloroform, a stupor which had deadened sensation, and an awakening to find a little new life to which she had given being, added to the great unnumbered multitude of souls that come and go.

which idea is related to the reader through edna’s revelation about her childbirth experiences?

-edna had very difficult experiences during childbirth.
-she is not particularly comfortable with the concept of birth.
-her experiences of motherhood are also fading from consciousness.
-motherhood and having children comes naturally to edna.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human

what are the options?

personaly i think it is a hope this !
