Houses
On the island she can sleep and dream, and in the pigeon house she can create a world of her own.
Flirting
Edna and Robert flirt throughout the book.
Swimming
In the sea, Edna learns to swim
The Sea
The sea is a symbol of empowerment in The Awakening.
Cigars
Cigars appear over and over in The Awakening as a symbol of masculinity and traditional manhood. Victorian women were not allowed to smoke at all, and certainly not cigars.
Piano
Reisz play the piano
Hammock
Edna likes to relax in the hammock
Art
Art becomes a symbol of both freedom and failure. It is through the process of trying to become an artist that Edna reaches the highest point of her awakening.
Birds
Caged birds in general are representative of women during the Victorian Era, who expected by society to have no other role besides that of wife and mother.
