I feel the theme of The Awakening is deeper than the obvious themes of independence and women’s rights. The Awakening presents suicide as a valid solution to problems that do not offer many choices ... loneliness, disruption of one’s social life, and suicide for the common good. It’s easy to connect these with Edna’s life: the isolation of her small house, the disruption caused by Adele’s death, and the common good of the children.
