AP Lit will soon find out the answers to many Awakening questions: When Robert returns from Mexico, will Edna still be in love with his hairstyle? Were single men the largest population in Louisiana? Will the parrot learn new French phrases? Will Chopin describe more characters by their hands? Will Edna ever swim again?
Finish the text tonight and we will wrap up all those analytical classifications (theme, characterization, gender roles, and motifs). I assume we will spend a great deal of time on the ending -- I promise not to give anything away -- at the moment.
While listening to your thoughts about The Awakening, I see such dynamic analysis. I wish I could say that I understood all those motifs and characterizations at age 19, when I first read the text in college.
