Art and The Awakening

Art plays an important role in waking up. Edna Pontelier is seeking social and artistic freedom. When Edna began to claim her independence, she also started using the picture as a way of expressing herself. At the beginning of the novel, Edna is handling sketches. On the exciting evening of Big Island, she learned to swim and Edna became an independent and confident woman. This is reflected in her romantic tendency to Robert to ignore her husband's wish and her ambitious artistic desire.

Edna's awakening seems to rediscover her artistic tendencies and talents. The awakening art is a symbol of freedom and failure. Trying to be an artist, Edna has reached her first peak of waking up. She started to see the world from an artistic point of view. When asked why Reisz loves Robert to Edna, Edna said, "Why is that because the hair is brown and it is away from the temple, because my eyes are closed and my eyes are closed, my nose is a bit jerky "The complex details that she previously ignored will be in love with only the artists concentrating. Furthermore, art is one way that Edna claims. She thinks this is a form of self expression and individualism.

She is enthusiastic about living her life without being meddled by her husband meditating her, without being bound by social responsibility, as if she were one of her own secular property.
