Thought:
To Edna, to live with self-awareness, possessed and controlled only by one’s own soul, offers an existence far richer than a life lived according to the restricting ―illusions‖ that are imposed by the expectations of others.
•Edna begins to see the world around her with a fresh perspective.
Edna’s awakening
Process of Awakening
Three stages:
1. Sexual awakening
2. Spiritual awakening 3. Ultimate awakening

Edna Pontellier
•the novel's protagonist. •28 years old, having two lovers, a husband and two children. •having a dual personality •not only acknowledges her sexual desires, but also has the strength and courage to act on them. •struggling to reconcile her increasingly unorthodox(非正统 的) views on femininity and motherhood with the prevailing Victorian social attitudes.
Quotes:
―In short, Mrs. Pontellier was beginning to realize her position in the universe as a human being, and to recognize her relations as an individual to the world within and about her. ‖ (6.3)
Thoughts:
spiritual &Identity independence
Stage 3: ultimate awakening
•Robert’s refusing to stay with her and pursue their love. •conquering convention by committing suicide as a sign of integrity and independence. •Drowned herself at Grand Isle-----the site of her first moments of emotional, sexual, and intellectual awareness, and, in a final escape.
Stage 2: spiritual awakening
(Her friend---Reisz serving as an inspiration and model) an obedient, reserved wife and mother
dissatisfied with her marriage and the limited, conservative lifestyle
此时的英国，以伦敦为代表，表面辉煌， 像个理性、克制的绅士社会，其背地里却 是上层社会人士被压抑性情的爆发，藏污 纳垢，社会底层一片混乱，中产阶级上升。 上流人士出了不少丑闻，如同性恋俱乐部 等；对人性的压抑和保守态度也导致了王 尔德的悲剧
Early Experience of Love
Enamored with a cavalry officer （骑兵军官） at a very young age in love with a man visiting a neighboring plantation in her teens infatuated with a tragedian as a young woman seeing her marriage to Léonce as the end to her life of passion and the beginning of a life of responsibility .
Quote:
―The years that are gone seem like dreams—if one might go on sleeping and dreaming—but to wake up and find— oh! well! Perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe(欺骗) to illusions all one’s life.‖(38)

•Her final pursuing of selfindependence all reveal the ideas of Transcendentalism.
A Psychoanalytical/Freudian Perspective
―Id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; Ego is the organized, realistic part; Super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role.‖
Conventions of Victorian Society
•在这个维多利亚女王当权的时代, 男人却 认为女人是低下的,并且训练女人接受这样 的观念. •在这个女王当权,但女权低下的时代,上流 阶级的女人的唯一作用是当一个装饰品--文雅,合乎身份且为被动的. 在中下阶级的 妇女通常必须外出工作, 而且她们的丈夫 往往像上流阶级一样的残暴或是更为残暴, 但是当时的女性却认为嫁给一个残暴的丈 夫比不嫁好。
comfortable in her marriage to her husband (Léonce);
unaware of her own feelings and ambitions.
Her experience on Grand Isle awakens her desires and urges for music, sexual satisfaction, art, and freedom.
2. The Inner Edna questions her actions. 3. Over time, we see the Inner Edna begin to dominate the Outer Edna, and she becomes much more whole.
At the beginning: 个布道坛，每一家报纸 的社论，每一次公开演讲，都喋喋不休地 宣传婚姻的神圣及婚前贞操的重要性，而 上至王储下到达官显贵，许多人都有着偷 偷摸摸的私生活，人数之多，超过或几乎 超过了以往任何时期。
•在那个时代，妇女们的衣服把肉体遮盖得比任何时代都 严实，但对雕刻家的评判却要看他雕刻裸体女人的水平。 •在那个时代，任何小说、戏剧、诗歌等方面的著名文 学作品，在色 情描写上从来都不超过接吻的程度，然而，带色情描写的通俗作品的 发行量却是空前绝后的。 •在那个时代，在人类活动的 其他方面都出现了长足的进步和解放， 而唯独在最基本的个人情欲方面却受到苛刻的控制。

A Dual Personality
---an Inner Edna and an Outer Edna
1. The Outer Edna conforms to societal expectations.
Quote:
―Even as a child she had lived her own small life all within herself. At a very early period she had apprehended instinctively the dual life—that outward existence which conforms, the inward life which questions‖(7.1).
Pursuing her interest in painting; ignoring all of her social responsibilities; moving into a house of her own.
Financially and spiritually independent
"You have been a very, very foolish boy, wasting your time dreaming of impossible things when you speak of Mr. Pontellier setting me free! I am no longer one of Mr. Pontellier's possessions to dispose of or not. I give myself where I choose. (36.42 - 43)
Stage 1: sexual awakening
Beginning: falling in love with Robert. Development: her affair with Alcee Arobin.
•the most socially observable act of her defiance and freedom. •Exploring her repressed sexuality. •leading to her awareness of herself as a female and sexual being.
