Résumé
The Awakening tells the story of 28-year-old Edna, a Kentuckian married to 40-year-old French Creole Léonce Pontellier, a New Orleans businessman. The novel opens as Edna and her two young sons are summering along the Gulf of Mexico at Grand Isle, in beachfront cottages owned by Madame Lebrun from New Orleans, where "exclusive visitors . enabled [Madame Lebrun] to maintain the easy and comfortable existence which appeared to be her birthright." Léonce has arrived for the weekend, but by Sunday morning he seems distracted by the activity around him and heads off for an afternoon of gambling at the resort hotel.
Edna spends the day with Robert, Madame Lebrun's son, a 26-year-old unmarried merchant with vague plans of traveling to Mexico. Surrounded entirely by French Creoles who know each other well, Edna is mildly shocked yet titillated by the disarming candor of conversation among her summertime friends. Eventually, influenced by such company and by the island's serenity, "she [begins] to loosen a little the mantle of reserve that had always enveloped her." Edna struggles to express that she feels constrained by her life in New Orleans.
She learns to swim, moving farther from shore as the summer passes, an outward sign of her desire for more freedom.
