![]() ![]() Awakening is made up of incidences that are a show of the nature of gender relationships in the Victorian era. However, the reality is that, Edna is in the process of realizing her self -worth and hence moving to a state of freedom. He believes strongly that, his wife can never disrespect him and therefore, he believes she is out of her mind. This makes Edna`s husband visit a doctor so that he can be told about his wife`s weird behavior. Gender and social criticism is seeing in several instances, for instance, as Edna begins to awaken, the society does not accredit her moves. ![]() In this regard, I have keenly identified instances in Kate Chopin`s story, the awakening, where the theme of gender and social criticism are evident as discussed below. She does not care so much about the consequences of her actions (Rosenfelt et al, 34). As the story starts, character of Edna builds from a mild person to a completely strong feminists character who by all means goes against the society`s requirements of her and even against her husband`s wishes just in search of freedom of her own. Issues of women being submissive to their husbands, is common in several societies. ![]()
