Paper Summary:

The paper discusses and analyzes "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, a book about a young woman, Edna Pontellier, who is restrained by her marriage and the responsibilities of being a woman in the 1800s. The paper examines the various relationships in the novel and the character of Edna before and after her 'awakening'.

From the Paper:

"Although it was unusual for a woman to have her own interests outside of the family, Edna, clung to her hobby of painting. She used painting as a way to further gain her freedom. Painting was the one thing that the men could not take away. It became a mechanism for escape. It took great courage for her to stand up against her husband and insist that she paint. Although it was probably unlikely for a woman to be a great painter in her time, Edna took on the hobby as a talent in which she wanted to excel."
