Unfortunately on November 1st of 1855, her father passed away as a victim to a train accident. It is said that Chopin’s father, a businessman from Ireland, proved to be one of her first influences in her life because he happily fortified her attentiveness in writing (3). On February 8th, 1851 Chopin was born Katherine O’Flaherty, to Thomas O’Flaherty and Eliza O’Flaherty. How Chopin was raised and educated not only inspired her but it also assisted her with her writing capabilities. Chopin’s decision to focus on and emphasize the imbalances between the sexes is heavily influenced by her upbringing, her feelings towards society, and the era she subsisted in. Chopin scrutinized sole problems and was not frightened to suggest that women desired something that they were not normally permitted to have: independence. Several critics deem Chopin as one of the leading feminists of her age because she was willing to publish stories that dealt with women becoming self-governing, who stood up for themselves and novels that explored the difficulties that they faced during the time.
Women in literature may uncover their strengths or find their independence, raising their own self recognition. A literary work approached by the feminist critique seeks to raise awareness of the importance and higher qualities of women. In Chopin’s novel The Awakening, she incorporates the themes mentioned above to illustrate the veracity of life as she understood it. Her time period consisted of other female authors that focused on the same central theme during the era: exposing the unfairness of the patriarchal society, and women’s search for selfhood, and their search for identity.
Kate Chopin was one of the modern writers of her time, one who wrote novels concentrating on the common social matters related to women. Kate Chopin used her writing as a technique to indirectly explicate her life by the means of narrating her stories through the characters she created. the conduct of a woman is subservient to the public opinion, her faith in matters of religion should, for that very reason, be subject to authority”. The novel demands the mind of the reader to correspond the novel with appropriate grammar while interpolating and interpreting the historical progression of society from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century. The theme of the novel concentrates on the marriage and life of a Southern American woman, Edna, who marries a man of a different religion in “violent opposition of her father. Reading and comprehending the novel, The Awakening, by Kate Chopin is an inordinately laborious experience, reminding the reader a woman’s education is lacking during this period.
