5/15/2023 0 Comments The awakening kate chopin amazon![]() ![]() Chopin really had a knack for conveying emotions without much dialogue. At times I felt for this character and at times I was frustrated with her. Seeing this simply as a tragic story of a selfish, oppressed woman, it is wonderful. ![]() I don't agree with her ways of escaping them, especially what she did to her children! Is that what feminists want to use as an example? I don't want to give too much away for someone who hasn't read this, but her actions in this book are too extreme. ![]() This stuff was never for her and she tries to escape them. The Awakening is a story of a woman who feels bound and oppressed by her marriage and by motherhood. The feminist themes are there, no doubt, but I don't think that Chopin intended it to be used as an example of what a woman in a similar situation should do. I saw this as a tragic story, not as the example that feminists having been using it as for decades. I loved this story for the beautiful writing and the intricate way of exploring the life of a tragic woman. ![]()
