Questions: Is the character of The Awakening reflects to the author, Kate Chopin? Is there any reason that Kate wrote this book? How does the characters different from the women at that time? or what are the similarities and differences between the main character and modern women.

Comment: after reading this book, this leads me know more about the social structure of different gender in the past. Basically, I know there are “tradition” concepts to restrict women statues. For example, Edna’s job should be taking care of her children and her husband. However, the main reason that she married with her husband is not they both fall in love, the main reason is based on the family pressure, such as financial problems or social norms. However, in this book, I know that there are not all the women would like to face to their faith. Women would fight for their rights or they would do something to against the faith. Somehow, the character of this book is a little bit reflects the author. They also break the social norms and want to be independent.
