a proto feminist classic novel
the Awakening
The awakening
A proto feminist novel
By Kate Chopin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shocked the world
Back at the turn
Of the 20th century.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With its depiction
Of a young woman
Awakening to desire
Awakening to eroticism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throwing off conventional
Morality and all that entails.
In a futile search
For self-fulfillment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That cannot be achieved.
Except for at a high cost.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And in the end
She takes her life
Unfulfilled desires
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Awakening her fears
in the end.
