The Awakening by Kate Chopin: Critical analysis and themes
Kate Chopin's exceptional life translated into her literary work, especially in her novel, The Awakening. The author lived as a strong, independent, talented woman who was lucky enough to be able to express her personality and let her imagination run wild both at home and outside of her home. Most of the women of her time were not so lucky. The main character in her novel, Edna Pontellier, is struggling to acquire the freedom that only a deep knowledge of oneself is able to allow. Chopin creates a character that, like most women in the nineteenth century in the American South, is heavily constraint by society's rules and prejudices to a role she never wanted to assume. Edna will finally succeed, but she will pay a high price for it: she will have to sacrifice her own life.
