Question 2 • AFC AP English Literature and Composition B5

What is Kate Chopin’s purpose in The Awakening? Think about how the title provides a clue. Check the two best choices.

Answer
A
to describe Edna’s physical rebirth
B
to describe how Edna experiences self-discovery
C
to describe Edna’s revolt against conformity
D
to describe a change in the relationship between Edna and her husband

Explanation

The title refers to Edna’s emotional and intellectual awakening as she begins to understand her own desires and identity. That self-discovery leads her to resist the social expectations and conventions that have constrained her. The title does not mainly describe a physical rebirth or simply a change in her relationship with her husband.
