Margit Stange’s Literary Criticism of Chopin’s The Awakening

Maggie Stein created Edna Pontellier for "Waking up" literary criticism of Chopin, but that character and her creator did not leave the world of Chopin's life. As a means of understanding Chopin 's choice against Edna, Margit Steiner valued waking up in the context of the feminist ideology in the late nineteenth century. Specifically, she thinks that Edna is seeking self-ownership through a concept of claiming gender by Chopin's contemporaries and claiming "voluntary maternity" (276).

Kate Chopin issued "Awakening" in 1899, but it was not until the late 20th century when her text was accepted by American literary classics corresponding to the rise of feminist criticism as a literary discourse model. Therefore, "awakening" is often called an early feminist novel. Chopin's last sacred offering provides a commentary and interpretation of the evolution of the literary feminist movement, but the complex theme and the theme of "awakening" restricts the text to fully comply with the feminist doctrine . Awakening may concentrate on self-discovery of female characters,

After the death of Chopin in 1904, the critic finally began to realize the importance of her work. Chopin's work has become popular, especially in the 1960s. Until today, this novel has been widely read and studied as a classic. Kate Chopin has written a lot of works in his life, but the most famous one is "awakening" which caused a big controversy in publication, but now it is known as a feminist classic. Chopin was a controversial figure in her life. Through many of her sufferings and many deaths of her loved ones, Chopin wrote works of countless early feminists and contemporaryists, some of which are still affecting today.

As author of the novel "Awakening", Kate Chopin is best known today in literary circles. In the era of that controversy, "awakening" is related to the situation of women's marriage in the 19th century, and for the same reason has recently been rediscovered and recognized as feminist text. But this novel only represents the climax of almost every literary career used to create a short story. What made Chopin complete her final masterpiece and made it possible to develop the style that is most suitable for her theme was "mastery" of short story type. This development certainly does not happen alone.
