Author of 4399 Awakening

After the publication of Awakening 1899, it has been condemned for decades, and libraries in St. Louis and other places even listed it as a banned book. Since 1950s, it has been paid attention to, and now it is a classic American literary work, which has been adapted for opera singing. It has been pointed out that kate chopin, the author of The Awakening, as a female writer, even walked ahead of many male writers of her time. For example, instead of condemning Emma in Madame Bovary as Flaubert did, she praised her protagonist Edna. Besides, she has no qualms about describing his wife's infidelity to her husband as a beautiful thing, and she is ahead of Lawrence in this respect.

The story of awakening began in Grand Island at the end of 19. The heroine Edna Pontellier and her husband Lyons are here on holiday with their two children. Although her husband is very kind to her, in essence, Lyons always treats Edna in a "hands-on" way. During her life on the island, Edna came into contact with Creoles (descendants of French and Spanish immigrants in New Orleans), which enabled Edna to learn how to express her feelings freely and rediscover the feeling of freedom as a child. She gets along well with Adele Latino and Robert lebrun, both of whom are good wives and mothers. As time went on, the simple relationship between Edna and Robert began to change subtly. Edna gradually realized her love for Robert and began to resist her husband's control. Edna and Robert's going to church can be said to be the highest point of their relationship. Then Robert realized that this relationship was impossible and went to Mexico.

Edna who lost Robert lost her mind. After returning to New Orleans, she began to immerse herself in painting, and gradually gave up her old lifestyle completely, moved into a small house and declared herself independent. When the weather is good, she paints. When the weather is bad, she will visit a pianist, Miss Rice. She met her when she was on vacation in Grand. She played the role of a mentor and led Edna to "wake up" to some extent. During this period, Edna had a relationship with a man named Arce Arobin, but there was no love between them. This relationship marks Edna's awakening of sexual desire.

Unforgettable old love, Robert returned to New Orleans and confessed to Edna for the first time, which rekindled Edna's love for him. She explained to Robert that she didn't belong to anyone and could be with Robert without her husband's consent, which made Robert feel very strange and flinched again. Edna, who was hit continuously, collapsed on the sofa and sat all night. She realized that nobody understood her. So she returned to Grand Island, the place where she first woke up, and went to the sea naked to find her ultimate freedom.
