The Awakening: Quote 4

“The city atmosphere has improved her. Some way she doesn’t seem like the same women.” Page 66

This quote is important because it is Victor Lebrun talking to his mother about Edna. When other people start to notice her more assertive and straight forward attitude, it is then that Edna really starts to become known as a new “awakened” woman. She isn’t seen as just another woman, she is seen as someone with ideas and thoughts of her own. This is a good quote sampling the new interest in Edna, as others will start to treat her with a different attitude and respect. They will start to think of her as her own, and not just the wife of Leonce Pontellier, or the mother of Raoul and Entinee.
