Paper Summary:
Kate Chopin's novel "The Awakening" (1895) is replete with human and other voices. This paper analyzes voices, conversations, laughter, sobbing, ambient noise, piano music and various other sounds that are described within "The Awakening," especially in terms of how these symbolically underscore the main character Edna Pontellier's "awakening" to her true desires in life.From the Paper:
"Once she learns to swim well, Edna loves swimming in the ocean, where, as she glides and propels herself beneath the waves, she experiences an absence of sound. As Chopin also states, when Edna first realizes she can finally swim on her own, that feeling is so exhilarating to her that "she could have shouted for joy" (The Awakening, Part X, Paragraph 7)."More papers on Music and Noise in "The Awakening":
