The Awakening is one of my more-read classic books--it allows the reader to slip into the identity of another human being who is totally unlike them.
Edna is an average, middle-class mother married to a respectable yet dull man with a pair of fairly nice children. Yet she realizes that her life is stifled--she is expected to fall into a mold of behavior and thinking that a thousand other women fall into. In addition, she is attracted to a young man working with her husband.
Edna soon breaks free of all ties, living as she wishes and doing as she wishes, but her newfound freedom comes with a price...
I think that Edna may have had a mood disorder--her sometimes random swings of emotion and her interactions with her husband and children point that even if there were no physiological reason for her dissatisfaction, I think that she may have been disturbed in some way. Even after finding her "satisfaction," she still doesn't seem happy.
A book that was originally condemned for being scandalously immoral, "Awakening" is a fairly tame tale with an un-Hollywoodish ending that leaves the reader feeling sad, yet not regretting their choice to read it.
I don't think this is a feminist tale-more the tale of a human being pinballing into unknown waters.

Kate Chopin, a woman far ahead of her time, did a remarkable job in writing The Awakening. She most likely felt many of the same things as her fiction character, writing them through her novel. It is so unfortunate that the book was rejected when first published, that people could not accept such a revolutionary and dynamic female character like Edna Pontellier. She was a strong-willed woman who discovered her independence, self-worth, inner strength and sexuality. In a time when wives were submissive and subservient, Edna breaks free of the confines of society's traditional role for women. Empowered by the realization that she can make her own decisions and act according to her will alone, not simply her husband's, her life becomes more fully real. It is then that she can also truly love. Edna had always been quietly rebellious and independent, but had slowly given in more and more to society's rules and the males in her life. She did not want to be seen and esteemed only for being a mother and proper woman. It was refreshing to see such a strong woman, especially considering the time period the novel was written, long before the times of civil or women's rights. Edna's happiness and freedom, her true self and being, are the most valuable things in the world to her. She does not want to be treated as a possession any longer. Edna's thoughts and actions were quite radical for the late 19th century, but many of the ideas from the novel still apply today, even in a time of supposed equality and freedoms. People must learn to look inward for true happiness; self-realizations and preservation. Today, people, women, tend to look outward for their contentment and acceptance, basing it on other people and material things. Kate Chopin and her character were attempting to break free of this a century ago. Reading The Awakening was a pleasurable experience from start to finish. We both really enjoyed the novel and definitely recommend it to others, especially women.

I read this book in high school and had the opportunity to read it in a women's literature course in college last summer. The Awakening is by far one of the best books I have ever read and I have read hundreds of novels. I truly believe that most every woman can see part of herself in Edna Pontellier. Out of the thousands of significant women characters that have been depicted in novels, Edna is certainly one of the most complex as well as realistic. Her emotions were raw, REAL, and completely unabashed and honest. Chopin included so many "tabboo" topics, including lesbianism. I can read this book over and over and still never get tored of reading it. I will always see Edna as a woman who wanted to come to grips with her own sexuality and independence. Although I did see her as selfish, I ultimately realized that she felt trapped in a society that stressed women as being the nurturers and taking care of their husbands and children...they could not dream or fufill the dreams that they had. Edna desperately wanted to cross this boundary that was set upon her society during that time. The ending was so emotional to me personally that I never fail to cry every time I read it. This book is incredibly emotional and original. Chopin realized that women should not have limits. It is just sad that society during Chopin's time did not think that women should have any other choices.
