The Awakening - Week of September 10, 2012
Read pages 94 – 139 (Chapters 16 – 27) and post by Friday, September 14.
By the end of chapter 17, as Edna prepares to return home to New Orleans, it is obvious that she feels unsatisfied with her life even though she has a kind husband, nice friends, healthy children and financial stability (things that “should” have fulfilled a woman in Edna’s position). She begins to pull away from the life she is expected to lead and moves into the life she wants to lead. What evidence do you see of this transition? Analyze whether or not you believe Edna should be satisfied. Please use quotes and page numbers to support your ideas.
