Abstract: This paper is a feminist interpretation of Kate Chopin’s novel, The Awakening, in which the protagonist, Edna Pontellier, a woman, portrays the struggle of women in society to construct their own identity, to have their freedom, and understand their life choices. The purpose of this paper is to present Edna’s approach to freedom through the lens of feminism. A feminist approach was used for the text’s critical evaluation. For this study, various works of literature related to novel and feminist approaches were gathered from Jstor and Research Gate and cited in this paper using MLA literature rules.
