         Kate Chopin's The Awakening is often said to triumph the exploration on the emotional and sexual needs of women, and the novel certainly is about that to a great extent, but even more importantly, it is a quest for individuality and the meaning of love. Through the protagonist, Edna Pontellier, Chopin describes in her novel one woman's journey towards self-consciousness. Several stages of 'awakenings' can be detected on the road, which are discussed in detail, along with the themes of romantic love, possession and an individual self. Darwinian theories are used to some extent to explore the nature of love and the meaning it had for Chopin.

Kate Chopin is a renowned author of the twentieth century. She is famous for her short stories that were written in the late 1800’s. Most of her works were published in magazines at the time but were a posthumous success because of societal dissent. The beliefs and values exhibited in her works of literature are far ahead of their time by representing women’s desire for independence from being a homemaker. One of her most popular short stories, “Desiree’s Baby,” shows how women had no choice over their own fate and were bound by the will of their husbands during Chopin’s lifetime. It was not well received by the public until years after Chopin’s death because the story draws sympathetic feelings towards the situation in which the main character Desiree finds herself in. In “Desiree’s Baby,” Chopin uses symbolism and irony to present the message of how the innocent suffer unjustly as a result of judgmental attitudes; she does this through the main characters of Armand and Desiree.

The term epiphany is pretty common in literary terms, and most often means a moment of realization or self discovery.

Historically, women have not been treated equally, especially in the workplace. So how did they start the revolution in the workplace? Women first time enter the workplace was during the industrial revolution.

Women and children were doing the same job as man but earning half the salary. Women entered the workplace because of their cheap labor. Which then threatened male laborers.

In Alexander Pushkin’s Belkin Tales, there are two short stories, “The Postmaster” and “Mistress into Maid”, that help show the effects of the decisions concerning love. In the short story “The Postmaster” the daughter of the Postmaster, Dunya, is abducted or possibly runs away with a traveler. She never returns to her father despite his attempt to contact her, until it is too late, since her father had passed away. “Mistress into Maid” tells of a story where a young woman, Lizaveta, dresses as a peasant girl to meet the young man, Alexey, from the family that her father hates. Eventually they both fall in love with each other. Despite all of Lizaveta’s attempts to keep her identity a secret, Alexey finds out who she really is, and the two lovers live happily ever after.

The Russian attitude toward love during Chekhov’s time is very patriarchal and is considered normal to marry for practical reasons, parental pressures or other considerations rather than for love. The feelings that accompany love, such as passion and spirituality, are not a societal consideration and this institutional attitude toward human emotion is the catalyst for Chekhov’s story. When a person is deprived of love, he or she builds up a futility of life which consumes the human soul. In Anton Chekhov’s “The Lady with the Dog”, the readers are placed in a setting where the main character Gurov, and his love interest Anna, are given the emotional freedom to feel love toward one another. This freedom is the driving force in the story

It is only when Mrs. Mallard’s husband dies in a sudden railroad accident that she realizes she is no longer tied together by the ropes of man.

Chopin uses imagery, third person omniscient point of view, and concepts of relief and joy in “The Story of an Hour” to convey the true feelings of Mrs. Mallard as she is freed from the strenuous and unjust oppression of women due to society’s expectation of gender roles.
