Begin Working on Novel Exploratory Paper
On the Week 13 Novel Discussion Board, discuss gender representations in The Awakening. Looking at the main characters (Edna, Adele, M. Reisz, Leonce, and Robert), what are some suggestions made about masculinity, femininity and the relationships between men and women? Note: Chopin also wrote the short story we read at the beginning of the semester "Story of an Hour."
The rest of the semester will be spent critically interpreting "The Awakening," which you should have finished by this point. Begin rereading for symbolism, characterization, setting, gender depiction, Creole culture and other themes you may discover as you follow the Chopin links. Also, as a work of fiction, the elements of fiction, which we explored at the beginning of the semester will be very helpful and should be reviewed in Meyer.
