Title: The Awakening
Review: In "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, Edna lives in a society during the late eighteen hundreds and has her own role assigned to her by that society. Edna has a hard time sticking to her role, especially when she meets Robert; who becomes a good friend. Throughout the novel, Edna is attempting to find herself and who she really is, behind the role that society has placed on her."The years that are gone seem like dreams-if one might go on sleeping and dreaming-but to wake up and find-oh! well! Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusion all one's life."This novel is a relatively short read and is slightly difficult. I really enjoyed the book and especially enjoyed the symbolism throughout; I would rate it a nine out of ten. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a proficient reader and enjoys novels that involve social issues.
