Book Summary of Experiencing Awakening with Kate Chopin
Kate Chopin¿s The Awakening is one of the most outstanding novels of the 19th century American literature. Interestingly enough it was condemned after its publication. It took several decades until the novel was rediscovered and truly appreciated. When working on this paper, I examined several critical reviews. My aim was to present the critical reviews side by side with my reading of the novel. In a way I wished to render my opinion with that of the critics together. I wished to offer a personal reading of the novel. I placed the emphasis on giving a definition of the awakening and its immediate effect on the heroine¿s life.
