Free Awakening Essays: Impressions :: Chopin Awakening Essays

Impressions of The wake up    I like The Story of an Hour much better than I liked The Awakening for a few reasons. First of on the whole, The Awakening was entirely too commodious to say what it had to say. I do not really understand the luff of having Edna spend all of that time away from Robert. At first, I impression it was to prove how much she missed him, but then she started fooling nigh with the other guy. To me, this does not indicate that she missed him very much at all. So what was the charge up of that whole boring part of the story? It make me want Robert to hurry up and come back so we could rule on with it (which I guess Edna was cogitateing the whole time). Then when he does come back, they admit their love for one another, but they still be not together. I guess the ending just kind of irritated me off. I dont get the point in her waking up and cosmos free to do whatever she feels, but she still cannot be with Robert. another(prenominal) t hing I did not like was the constant references to waking up and awakenings. I think that when a story is really good, you need to think about it, whereas this story just comes right out and tells you where the turning point is. It was obvious to me by that point when she learns to swim that this will be a turning point in her life, so I dont like the situation that Chopin practically spells it out for us.I do like the fact that, Chopin, living in the times that she did, had the courage to make such a stink I liked the part where Edna is lying in the hammock, and her husband is yelling at her to come inside to go to bed while she stubbornly refuses.However, Chopin ruins it for me by telling us that Edna makes a conscious decision never to accompany her husband against her will again. I think the portrayals of Ednas two friends serve to distinguish what she is(or society believes that she should be) with what she will become. Adele is the mother-type who sacrifices all for her ch ildren and her husband, and she even assumes a motherly constituent in the life of Edna, giving advice and trying to protect her friend all the time.
