Adele Berlin begins her article by seeking to define what exactly she means by parallelism. Berlin explores the idea that “parallelism is the most prominent rhetorical figure in ancient Near Eastern poetry” (1).

Parallelism manifest itself in many various ways throughout Scripture. The three main types and categories of parallelism that…

For her children, she would make clothes for children regularly and would easily do what her husband expects of her. Edna…

dear friend named Adele Adele is actually the foil to Edna, but isn't that the way a “real” friendship works? Adele was a woman who stayed at home and cared for her family, which happened to be the center of her life. Even though she stayed busy, Adele always made time to sit with Edna and talk through life's troubles. In the novel I recall Edna and Adele walking down to the beach while on vacation at Grand Isle, and discuss Edna’s inner confusion relating to her husband. Adele listened and in…

How did Adele display signs of grief in relation to George Michael’s death? In order to understand Adele’s emotions during this tragic time, we must understand what grief is.

free. To provide contrast to Edna and her development, Chopin includes the characters of Mademoiselle Reisz and Adele Ratignolle, women who are as different from each other as they are from Edna. Edna, Mlle Reisz, and Adele provide examples of the different types of women of their time period, as well as a gauge by which one can measure Edna’s growth. Edna stands out from Reisz and Adele, first and foremost, because she is not Creole; she is from Kentucky. She lacks the ease of expression…

One of the ways that this is achieved is by the use of the term “mother-woman” and applying it to both of the mentioned female characters. The term “mother-woman” is used in “The Awakening” to describe society’s image of the perfect woman; in other words, what Adele is, and what…

societal roles for a woman during this time period, but should instead have the free will to do as she pleases. This is unlike the character Adele Ratignolle because in the novel she seems to happily conform to these roles that society has placed on her and takes pride in doing so. Kate Chopin essentially creates two contradicting characters, Edna and Adele, in order to illustrate the struggles of a rebellious woman versus a conformist woman in a sexist society. This is shown throughout the…

It also seeks to explore the inspiration and…

If you take Edna’s statement for face value you may not think it makes sense, but in reality it makes perfect sense. The concept I grasp from Edna’s statement is that she is not opposed to losing her life for her kids; however she refused not to live her life for anyone. Edna just want her identity separated from anyone else’s. After reading the statement I correlated Edna to women who experience domestic violence. Some domestic violence victims who have financial stability, social status or a…
