(REAL NAME)    Rezension bezieht sich auf: Awakening (Taschenbuch) The Awakening is one of my more-read classic books--it allows the reader to slip into the identity of another human being who is totally unlike them.

Edna is an average, middle-class mother married to a respectable yet dull man with a pair of fairly nice children. Yet she realizes that her life is stifled--she is expected to fall into a mold of behavior and thinking that a thousand other women fall into. In addition, she is attracted to a young man working with her husband.

Edna soon breaks free of all ties, living as she wishes and doing as she wishes, but her newfound freedom comes with a price...

I think that Edna may have had a mood disorder--her sometimes random swings of emotion and her interactions with her husband and children point that even if there were no physiological reason for her dissatisfaction, I think that she may have been disturbed in some way. Even after finding her "satisfaction," she still doesn't seem happy.

A book that was originally condemned for being scandalously immoral, "Awakening" is a fairly tame tale with an un-Hollywoodish ending that leaves the reader feeling sad, yet not regretting their choice to read it.

I don't think this is a feminist tale-more the tale of a human being pinballing into unknown waters.
