Freedom In Chopin's The Awakening

386 Words2 Pages

Edna wrote a letter to Leonce about her moving out, and he wrote back saying that he does not like the idea of her moving out. He then said that he was going to say that the house was being renovated, and that him and Edna were going to travel abroad. Chopin uses this information to describe how Edna feels about this new freedom: Chopin uses language, word choice, and the theme of awakening, to represent how Edna is able to see her own awakening, which serves as a major progression into a new individual, and what she has conquered to become this new individual. Chopin uses the words of, “relieving herself obligations”, to show how Edna’s responsibilities have been conquered. With these responsibilities gone, she is able to be an individual

  • Oppression In Kate Chopin's The Awakening

    In the late 1800s, nearly all women were viewed as subservient, inferior, second class females that lived their lives in a patriarchal and chauvinist society. Women often had no voice, identity, or independence during that time period. Moreover, women dealt with the horrors of social norms and the gender opposition of societal norms. The primary focus and obligation for a woman to obtain during the 1800s was to serve her husband and to obey to anything he said. Since women were not getting the equality, freedom, or independence that they desired, Kate Chopin, an independent-minded female American novelist of the late 1800s expressed the horrors, oppressions, sadness, and oppositions that women of that time period went through.

    Edna fully understands that society would brand her as a terrible woman, but she does not view herself as a bad person. There is an external and internal difference that Edna hopes to one day reconcile. Chopin, instead of creating tension within Edna, created tension within the society and Edna with her newfound independence does not mind how society classifies her. Decisively, it can be concluded that the tension between outward conformity and inward questioning builds the meaning of the novel by examining Edna’s role as a wife, mother, and as nontraditional woman in the traditional Victorian period.

    Edna experiences the hardships of striving to break as a “ [feeling] like one who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul … the exuberance which had sustained and exalted her spirit left her helpless and yielding to the conditions which crowded her in … clutching feebly at the post before passing into the house.” (79). Through the imagery of a weight on her mind and feeble body, Chopin conveys her inability to find the strength to break the chains of the archetypal female identity. Extremely fleeting, her momentary empowerment clearly validates her circular growth rather than a building of personal development.
