The Different Awakening: Opinions And Views

The Different Awakening: Opinions and Views.
Have you ever argued with your friend over something? That could happen because you both had a varied opinion on an issue. The Awakening is a book written by Kate Chopin in the late 1800’s which was censored due to different opinions about the book by different people. The protagonist of this story is Edna. This story talks about how Edna was in depression and how she fell in love with a guy named Robert after she was married to Mr. Pontellier and had two kids. Chopin kept an effort to write this book so that it would be a remarkable success. That didn’t last long until everyone interpreted it in an unusual way than it was actually written. Ranging from that this book was her autobiography to Edna
The fact we all know is that we are all in a better place now. We are better off than the previous generations. When we specifically look at women a hundred years ago, we would just be surprised. Chopin tells us about how women at that time were, through “The Awakening”. Within the first few chapters, Ms. Chopin says how “Mrs. Pontellier was not a mother-woman.” “They were women who idolized their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels.” In other words, this quote shows us how women at that time were subjected to their husbands’ and how they were in their husbands’ cage. That is not the case right now. Women are more independent and are working. They have their own freedom and are recognized for their work and talent. They are not subjected to their husbands, kids, and household works. This reason may influence the younger generation now and they would most likely support the women who are out of their cage and are working. This might affect their opinion on Edna. They would most likely like her character for being an independent woman who is not subjected to her husband’s
If the book was read by the people in India then I think that women who are subjected to their husbands don’t find mother-woman a problem but, Edna being in a relationship with Robert would be a big problem. Arranged marriage is very common in India. They believe that women should take care of the house while their husbands are working and earning for the family. So, they would most likely think of Mrs. P who was married to Mr. P and likes Robert a really bad thing and so they would most likely hate Edna and the book. This might not be a case with the other people in a different country. So, the cultures and traditions differ among different people and so they interpret the text in a different way.
