The Influence of the Sea in The Awakening

Influence of the Sea on Awakening In the "Awakening" of Kate Chopin's novel, the heroine Edna Ponterie has understood the world. Unfortunately for Edna, the definition of the world is love and marriage. The waking up of this woman is actually "awakening to the limit" (Bloom 43). If she reads suicide, Edna's last swim is the result of her limit in awaking a woman in a male-dominated society. But at the metaphysical level, the last scene of waking up can be seen as Edna's ultimate gesture trying to grasp the essence of her existence. This article shows that the spiritual journey of Edna begins in the sea and ends in the sea.

In the analysis of Kate Chopin's "Awakening", Elaine Shawwalt and Elizabeth Lebron talked about the importance of Edna's awakening and homosexuality. They also agreed with the view that Edna returned to the sea in the last scene of a book representing Edna and her female lover, and found the satisfaction she was seeking. "Because the body of a woman is humid, it is looking at the evidence of the ocean's idea from a woman in Showalter.

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.

Edna's sexual awakening is definitely a sexy reflection in Walt Whitman's self-perceived symbolic poems and the image and influence of The Leaves of Grass often appears in the awakening. . Whitman's most famous phrase is "if I worship one thing, it is the spread of my own body or a part thereof." A little thing happened around Mrs Antoine. In 1855, Kusama became furious at the sensual celebration of male writers, the public's Puritan sentiment; even after 44 years women became even worse on her situation and sex.

Impact of the Great Awakening to the American Society: Great Awakening Caused the Collapse of New England Puritanism. The ideal "election" of the old Puritans, people planning to go to heaven, challenge; it does not seem logical. (This is the influence of enlightenment.) Americans who awakened 4/5 united in a common understanding of Christian faith and life. Because the opponents and opponents showed more respect than ever, the old Calvinistic Church split. Baptist church, Methodist church, Presbyterian church all prospered. They differ in theology, but they share a common evangelical voice. The emotion of John Wesley, the founder of Methodist Church, is typical and said, "Do you love God and are afraid, this is enough! I will give you the right fellowship."
