In Kate Chopin’s, The Awakening, Edna Pontellier goes through a self-discovery process and ultimately finds a pristine freedom. ...
In the first line of the novel Chopin quickly sets the tone for the rest of the book and foreshadows Edna’s upcoming personal transformation. ... Lastly the choice of the sea is an ultimate destination in which Edna attains inexhaustible freedom. ... “A bird with a broken wing was beating the air above, reeling, fluttering, circling disabled down, down to the water.” Like the bird, Victorian womanhood begins to deteriorate and Edna goes down to the water: to her heaven. ... This “awakening” brings Edna to her senses and she realizes what she has been missing.
