Edna Pontellier - Edna is the main character of the novel, and the title is "Awakening". A 28 - year - old wife, New Orient 's businessman, Edna, suddenly felt dissatisfied with his married life and the limited conservative lifestyle he was allowed. She was born out of a semi-conscious state focused on her wife and mother in perfect consciousness. There she found her identity and acted according to her own desire for emotional and sexual satisfaction. Through a series of experiences or "awakening", Edna is a shocking independent woman who lives separately from her husband and child, and is only responsible for her impulse and passion. Sadly, Edna's awakening pulls her away from others, and ultimately leads her to solitude.

Edna's self-discovery process in Kate Chopin's "Awakening" took place at a series of three critical stages that ultimately lead to the death of Edna. Before Edna began discovering herself, she fell into the desire to explore herself and the desire to more fully desire the reality and life of a Victorian woman. Until the first big event she woke up, a combination of music and baptism at the sea, she finally awoke a deep sense of self-consciousness.
