![]() ![]() ![]() Chopin really had a knack for conveying emotions without much dialogue. At times I felt for this character and at times I was frustrated with her. Seeing this simply as a tragic story of a selfish, oppressed woman, it is wonderful. I don't agree with her ways of escaping them, especially what she did to her children! Is that what feminists want to use as an example? I don't want to give too much away for someone who hasn't read this, but her actions in this book are too extreme. This stuff was never for her and she tries to escape them. ![]() The Awakening is a story of a woman who feels bound and oppressed by her marriage and by motherhood. The feminist themes are there, no doubt, but I don't think that Chopin intended it to be used as an example of what a woman in a similar situation should do. I saw this as a tragic story, not as the example that feminists having been using it as for decades. I loved this story for the beautiful writing and the intricate way of exploring the life of a tragic woman. ![]()

Having revisited with Arnold over the past couple of weeks, the best I can say is that I am glad I have read the book without the pressing agenda of writing a piece of coursework about it. Back then, I read the book with the purpose of finding arguments for and against different aspects of "culture" and whatever that meant, but I never got the time to read what Arnold actually had to say beyond his eternal buzzwords of "sweetness and light", both which are still as vague as ever. I had first read the book way back when I was at university. Matthew Arnold's Culture and Anarchy was an odd book to come back to in these times of talk about making things "great" again. Greatness is a spiritual condition worthy to excite love, interest, and admiration and the outward proof of possessing greatness is that we excite love, interest, and admiration. ![]() But what is greatness?- culture makes us ask. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stella sees their union as the perfect opportunity to get to the boys' club executives at her company who keep overlooking her for a long-deserved promotion.
