This paper evaluates the introduction of feminism in ā€œThe Awakeningā€ in that time of society and societal values, of women and how they think they should behave. In this context, the second section elaborates women struggling to live up to strict cultural standards from a society that is male dominant. Then, through Chopinā€™s focus on Mademoiselle Reisz as a suggested role model for Edna, I will display how it allows her to see that the life of freedom and individuality that she wants goes against both society and nature. In the last part, I will explain the significance of how Chopin used three common relationship so she can explore Edna’s reaction to each. This will allow the reader to get an understanding of how these relationships advance Edna self-knowledge and how it contributed to her awakening.
