The Awakening: Edna's
Words: 804 / Pages: 3 .... carefully, though subtly, establishes that Edna does not neglect
her children, but only her mother-woman image. Chopin portrays this idea by
telling the reader "…Mrs. Pontellier was not a mother-woman. The mother-woman
seemed to prevail that summer at Grand Isle". Edna tries on one occasion to
explain to Adele how she feels about her children and how she feels about
herself, which greatly differs from the mother-woman image. She says: "I would
give up the unessential; I would give my money; I would give my life for my
children; but I wouldn't give myself. I can't make it more clear; it's only
something I am beginning to comprehend, which i .....
