Phrasing and Social Roles


Description

In this lesson, students read and analyze chapter IV of The Awakening. Student analysis focuses on Chopin’s use of figurative language in this chapter, specifically the compound noun “mother-woman” (p. 10). Students consider how this phrase describes one of the typical female social roles of this time, and how the tension between Edna and the idea of the “mother-woman” further develops her character.
