Huh... I'm not sure how I feel about this one right now, but I'm a bit concerned with how much I related to Edna. Minus the loveless marriage, because I do love my husband and he loves me, and I'm not really worried I'll find my own "Robert," because I don't need one. I actually didn't really know w...
I don't really know how to describe how I feel about this book, but I have some mixed feelings about it. I like the message it is trying to give but I don't like the way it is executed.

How have I NOT read this book?! I could read anything by Kate Chopin all the live long day. I just adore her writing. When I read her stories, something magical takes place and I'm instantly transported into the book. I can clearly smell and visualize everything she describes. I want to live in Chop...
Read this just to mark it with a cross, and it really does not deserve more these days. I have nothing against the feminist message in here (which, by the way, is not "sleep with whoever you want", but rather "a woman can be a fulfilled personality without marriage and must not be hurried into marry...
There are a few books all authors should read, and a few that all humans should read, whether a reader or writer. The Awakening falls into the second category. I've read this book 4 times now, twice for Literature courses, once for my own entertainment, but the first time was as a requirement to g...
There was a moment, quite early on in the novella, when I was sure Edna's grand passion was going to be Adele Ratignolle, but sadly, it wasn't. Damn. This would have been a far more interesting read if that had been the case. Instead, The Awakening is just another "gilded cage" story, and maybe I've...
