Kate Chopin Mother Woman
817 words
Kate Chopin's novel The Awakening is full of
symbolism. In each chapter there is a central
symbol that adds to the meaning of the story.
Small symbols throughout the novel such as
sunshades, children playing and pianos represent
properties of domesticity and society rules which
Edna tries to separate herself from. Chopin does
however, give larger representative symbols to add
meaning to the novel. The first line of the novel
is perhaps the most obvious example of symbolism.

Scarlet Letters filmmaker, Roland Joffe, mastered
the coloring of his film just as Hawthorne did. An
interesting visual cue he used was a slight,
brilliant red bird. The bird first glided across
the screen when Hester was planting her garden.
Joffe silenced all background noise and music
while the bird, in nearly slow motion, flapped out
of the forest. The effect was hazy and surreal;
