The Awawkening Ch. 1-4


From the first chapter of this book, you can tell that Edna has more things going on that meets both the eye of the reader and herself alike. It's obvious that she isn't like the other women in the Creole society as she doesn't seem to have the overbearing dedication to her family that is expected of other women in situations similar to her own, and the fact that Robert, unbeknownst to Edna (obviously), is vying for her affection combined with the fact that she is, to a certain degree, playing along makes for an interesting setup of the characterization. Edna is obviously in contrast to the Creole women, namely Madame Ratignolle, who represented the quenticential "mother-woman" as she was so aptly named.


In my personal opinion, this is shaping up to not be quite the bore that HOD proved itself time and again to be. That's right, come and get me.
