During her writing career (1888-1904), Kate Chopin was regarded as a talented local color writer for her two favorable collections that were mainly set in the State of Louisiana and established in her reputation literature. Kate Chopin lived in the United States of the 19th century, in which era, women’s social status was very low. They were the accessories of the society and family, and they didn’t have their own independent life. After being neglected in the early twentieth century, Chopin’s works were revalued. In other words, Kate Chopin writes this novel to express the desire of women. The Awakening is a process that is lonely, desperate and painful for women at that time. It is also the test of life and death. Edna died eventually after struggled lonely. But she can understand that she can’t live without the self. That is the meaning of awakening. Kate Chopin hoped Edna can make it out of the patriarchy in that time. 
The Awakening tells about the heroine Edna is unwilling to play the role of wife and mother, and it is also the story of desire and the pursuit of freedom. Edna is not only a submissive female character, she is also full of a strong brave, active male character. At the same time, the purpose of this paper is to dig deep to Edna to show the character of the novel has very profound significance and struggle to explore her awakening from the spirit to reality, finally seek the deep meaning of unity and liberation. 《觉醒》中的女性人物形象分析:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_38833.html
