Kind of a marvel for the time it was written in. I wish it could have ended differently, but I understand why it didn't.

liked how Chopin depicted Edna in a multifaceted way, the prose was quite beautiful. Hated the ending though!

Fantastic. Best classic I’ve ever read. It felt incredibly accessible while still of the complex and reflective nature of a true classic.

the awakening is now one of my favorite novels. i enjoyed every second of it. the sense of longing that edna has for her own freedom and the realization that she is unable to attain true freedom is so heart wrenching. she has such big dreams but she realized them too late and that broke my heart. i wanted nothing but happiness for her. i was not expecting that ending, but it added to the narrative. 10/10. it being set in louisiana/new orleans definitely added to my enjoyment!

i gave this book 5 stars as a reflection of my enjoyment of and newfound love for the awakening. the short stories were good as well, but i didn’t enjoy them nearly as much as the novel. désirées baby will always be an iconic one. i loved a point at issue and also enjoyed wiser than a god, to get specific.
