True Love

'The Awakening', Kate Chopin

I like reading Kate Chopin's feminist story like "The Storm", "Story of An Hour"  and  one that i recently read is  'The Awakening'. The has given a great impact for me in understanding a real love especially once you have got married. As i always remind myself to always be thankful for what ever that God has given you.
There are many important paths that we must follow on our journey through life.  We follow the path without questioning its intent.  The path informs us when we should learn to talk, to walk, to marry and to have children.  We are told that we should never stray from it, because if we do, society will make it certain that we are bound for damnation.  Obviously, woman has all rights to marry the man of her heart.  But it is not appropriate for a woman to be 'happy' and passion by having an affair after she is married as her husband is still loyal to her.  If she feels neglected, she could have discuss the problems with her husband which she did not. On the subject of death, i would say Edna Pontellier struggles vigorously to escape the shackles of society . With the final realization that she will never be entirely free, Edna takes her life.  Edna found her true love with Robert and a sexual intensity that she could never find again. The dept of true love MUST be a part of our sexual experience to truly satisfy.  Trying to recapture that experience through sexual gratification alone was impossible for her.  It had driven her so strongly that she gave up her children to search for it .  This goes against all social expectations even today.  When JUST the sexual experience did not bring the depth of her relationship she had experienced with Robert, it deeply grieved her to the point where she could not go back and could not go forward.  All she could think of during her life time was Robert.  It's called 'dieing from a broken heart and that made her find the darkness through death.
Moral of the story is fight for your TRUE love with a man that you are going to marry.  It is a great feeling which everyone has to feel it.  Some people say love before marriage is the best and it's the one that last forever but some say the other way.  The most important is it will be the best where every partner knows each other while they are married.  Be happy, life is short to be unhappy.
