Kate Chopin Mother Woman
817 wordsKate 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.
