Reference no: EM133442789

Assignment:

I'd like to see you compare and contrast the experiences and limitations of Edna Pontellier's fictional life in The Awakening with Mary Wollstonecraft's 18th-century recommendations about how women should live.

What has changed for women in the roughly 100 years between Wollstonecraft's essay and Chopin's novella?

What doesn't seem to have changed?

You might focus on Edna's interest in educating herself about art, her relationships with and to the men in her life, the expectations society places upon her behavior and lifestyle, Edna's interior life and psychology, and/or any other number of issues raised by the first half of The Awakening.
