How does the community react to Sarah Penn's revolt in the revolt of mother?

In "The Revolt of 'Mother'" by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, the community's reaction to Sarah Penn's revolt is mixed. Some neighbors express surprise and disapproval at her boldness in moving into the new barn instead of waiting for her husband, Adna, to build a proper house. However, there are also hints of admiration for her determination and courage to assert her needs and desires. Ultimately, the community reflects the traditional gender roles of the time, often siding with Adna's authority, yet Sarah's actions challenge those norms and provoke thought among her peers.
