In this case, the awakening implies her independence and self-fulfillment. The protagonist, Edna Pontellier experiences a slow but increasingly powerful emotional and physical awakening as she comes to know herself. With the story progresses, it is easy to notice that the title “The Awakening” plays more and more important role.Īfter reading through few chapters, it is easy to notice that it is a story about awakening. It soon brings several questions about what is going on in the novel.Awakening? Who awaken? Why awaken? These questions remain readers to pay attention during they are reading. Before exactly reading the novel, this title has caught my attention. Different from the novels like Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer the title directly tells the content of the story, Kate Chopin’s The Awakening just offers a hint in this title instead of directly tells about the content of the whole story. Namely, the design of title is really important. A good title is essential for a literature, because while reading it, the first impression that readers will see is the title.
