Status Updates From The Awakening

rereading!

As of now, I am on page 71 of The Awakening. A current theme developing is finding one's identity. As the text states, "She grew daring and reckless, overstimating her strength. She wanted to swim far out, where no woman had swum before" (Chopin 49). This displays a search for identity as Edna Pontellier had never been able to swim. She found strength in learning to do what other women couldn't and was empowered.
