A Futile Awakening

Kate Chopin 's novel "Awakening" exceeds social structure and expectations. It includes the daily reality that women must face when they are fully mature and become peaceful between themselves and the world. Creole, located at the turn of the century in New Orleans, that ruthless power and courage deal with what women need to support their beliefs. Most research on awakening has focused on Edna Pontellier's new consciousness and struggle against oppression of her social forces.

Swimming wakes up as Edna sleeps, she repeatedly found it monotonous and futile. I learned that she was not a perfect wife but a mother. She needs to fill in the gap that had been empty for a long time. She does not realize herself waking up new quests, adventurous destinations, and quests for true love. In addition to learning to swim, the music had a great influence on Edna's awakening. Edna was greatly influenced by the music of the piano played by Mrs. Latignol. Mrs. Ratignolle represents the perfect mother and wife society expects; she should be Edna. Her music is soft and sweet, and Edna is watching funny pictures while listening to the piano. "When she heard that, there was an image of a person standing by the abandoned rock near the sea, he was naked, his attitude distracted from distant birds and he was desperate He resigned from his plane "(Chopin 35)

With the awakening of Kate Chopin, Edna Ponterie was born again and died in the sea. When Edna swam alone for the first time, she felt an independent wave. This brought "awakening". There, Edna has experienced many dramatic changes, ignoring traditional ideas and social customs. Edna finally drowned in the sea, and waking up was over. The eruption of Edna into the new world is revealed from the passion for the sea and the understanding and dissatisfaction with the "fancy" of society.

Free awakening or awakening means "wake up, watch or be alert" (Webster 23). This is what Edna Ponterie experienced with the awakening. There was some debate about the validity of the end of this story. Is Edna suicide appropriate? Yes, this story about Edna Pontellier including the end is suitable for women who may feel it if she feels Edna's feelings at that time. In search of a new identity for women in the awakening awakening, Chopin questioned the role of gender. Chopin is seeking the identity of a woman who is neither a wife nor a mother. To achieve this goal, she incorporates the progressive feminist idea into her writing. In the end, however, Chopin also indicated that many women were unable to remove social stereotypes in a satisfying way, due to longstanding conditional restrictions. Edna Pontellier, the hero of this novel, does not have this skill.
