Get to the point quickly: – In The Awakening, but Kate Chopin, the sea is a recurring symbol that exemplifies the freedom and independence that protagonist Edna Pontellier passionately desires for her life. The sea functions as a catalyst for Edna’s own “awakening” and rebirth, but also plays a role in her final attempt for independence because Edna knows that while she wishes to be free like the sea, societal expectations will never truly allow for unrestrained independence. Choosing a Symbol – Make your job easy: Pick a symbol that has depth and adds to the Meaning of the Work as a Whole (the central theme) – The Sea = Freedom / Independence from societal constraints – Swimming lessons with Robert – First venture out on her own – Returning to Grand Isle to die – Houses = Confinement / Social Constraints – Opens with a bird house (“Allez-vous en!”) – New Orleans mansion – Pidgeon House – Contrast to the sea
