“When I too long have looked upon your face‚” by Edna St. Vincent Millay When I too long have looked upon your face‚ Wherein for me a brightness unobscured Save by the mists of brightness has its place‚ And terrible beauty not to be endured‚ I turn away reluctant from your light‚ And stand irresolute‚ a mind undone‚ A silly‚ dazzled thing deprived of sight From having looked too long upon the sun. Then is my daily life a narrow room In which a little while‚ uncertainly‚ Surrounded by

To me‚ Edna does not fit the conventional role of a woman during the 19th century. She does not epitomize the “Mother-women” character that she is suppose to be and although she loves her children dearly‚ she would never sacrifice her identity and worth for them‚ “I would give up the unessential; I would give my money‚ I would give my life for my children; but I wouldn’t give myself” (Chopin). In the beginning of the novella she would some what listen to her husband command‚ but as her awakening

Everyone is born with their own unique identity; these identities are largely influenced by the society and culture around them. Society shapes people to believe what is and what isn’t acceptable. All throughout history humans have battled with what they believe is their true identity‚ and what society believes their identity should be. A common theme of literature is to capture the constant struggle between individuals and their communities. This struggle with society can be seen in many works such

Such expectations are still in existence today. Authors from the nineteenth and twentieth century are using literature and poetry as a vehicle for the new role and passion of the woman. Such authors as Kate Chopin‚ Mary Wilkins Freeman‚ Marge Piercy‚ Edna St. Vincent Millay and Henry James evoke a new sense of expectations for women in their use of literary language.

To me‚ Edna is quite an interesting character in the story “The Awakening.” Given that this novella took place during the late 19th century‚ Edna ambitious and courageous strength to act on her needs and desire is a remarkable trait.
