Good Morning All The version I have is the one I had in college, dog-eared, with the margins scribbled full of a freshman's eager, naive remarks. lol Regards, ...
I'm finding this story a bit like "Madame Bovary" (which bored me to death), but much more interesting. Mrs Pontellieur seems to feel no regrets for her...
I like this book so far. I just wish I hadn't read the synopsis where they told you the ending. Kind of ruined it for me. Virginia A.K.A. Phjlly43.P.S. I'm...
Virginia, I picked up the Awakening Saturday morning and finished it last night. I didn't read the synopsis but when Mrs Pontellier decided that she was going...
Barbara, I have Madame Bovary on my shelf waiting to be read. Mrs Pontellier, I found her rather amazing as she does not really agonize over her decision to...
Meg, I'm not done yet as I read three books at a time. Don't ask me why, but I seem to concentrate more when I read a couple at a time. I really like it so...

Karen, I agree with your observations, especially when Edna realised that she could swim and therefore it opened other possibilities for her that she would...
Good Morning Meg, I read The Awakening when I was in college years ago, along with several other Kate Chopin works, and slowly learned to love her work for its...

Hi Reen, I have finished reading The Awakening and the book also has other stories by her which I hope to read some more of this week. When I started to read...
SPOILER I don't post much and I've already read this book, so I'm sitting out this time, but I wanted to add to Karen's post about the roles of women. I agree...
Meg, Yes, I think you have it exactly! That is what is missing in the novel! The awakening should have led to something more substantial. She should been ...
Margaret, I like how you say Edna seems to be waivering between reality and fate. She seems to enjoy her imaginary life more than the real life. Like when...
