The Great Awakening The Great Awakening was a watershed event in the life of the American people. Before it was over‚ it had swept the colonies of the Eastern seaboard‚ transforming the social and religious life of land.

In The Awakening‚ caged birds serve as reminders of Edna’s entrapment and also of the entrapment of Victorian women in general. Madame Lebrun’s parrot and mockingbird represent Edna and Madame Reisz‚ respectively. Like the birds‚ the women’s movements are limited (by society)‚ and they are unable to communicate with the world around them.
