The Awakening: Reading Response 4


Pages 31-40

Edna at this point has really started to step out of her shell and reveal her true self to her husband. It was wonderful for her to finally decide something for herself. I’m glad that she has started to sort of rebel against Mr. Pontellier. He is getting very frustrated with her, but she still doesn’t give in to him. By standing her grounds she is proving to herself that she is capable of her own decisions and feelings.

Edna’s character is in full bloom now; she has a completely different attitude. When she goes and asks for Robert, she definitely wants him which is a different attitude for Edna to posses. Generally, she would have waited for Robert, so she wouldn’t have seemed so anxious, but she felt like being in control of the situation.
