Mademoiselle Reisz is presented as "... a nasty little woman, no longer young, who has fought almost everyone ...." She is single, childless, and has dedicated his life to his passion - music. The narrator also describes Mademoiselle Reisz home as a woman who has absolutely no taste in dress. Some people even argued that "always chose apartments under the roof ... to discourage the arrival of the beggars, the rowers and visitors." Isolated in their ever changing attics, which attests to the socially imposed seclusion probably a nineteenth-century woman who dared to challenge the tolerable standard for female achievement. She is an unconventional woman seems relatively insignificant as they begin to read the novel.
Although remote and reserved in their communication with other guests at the Grand Isle, Mademoiselle Reisz like the heroine of the novel, Edna Pontellier and the person becomes more convincing in its wake. Their first meeting, when Mademoiselle Reisz plays the piano for Edna, Edna leaves shaking and choking back tears. Edna was an experience I never had - not even when her dear friend Adle Ratignolle plays for her. "... The first line sends a shiver down acute spinal Mrs. Pontellier" and their reaction to physical agitation pianist demonstrates the ability of self-discovery that lies ahead. Although Mademoiselle Reisz is often used to entertain people with his piano meetings of experts, which will also declare that Edna is the only guests, which is truly touched and moved by music. Edna response to Mademoiselle Reisz's music reflects the theme of awakening in the novel.
Ratignolle Adle against living a socially acceptable lifestyle, Mademoiselle Reisz is a living example of a fully self-sufficient woman, governed by his art and passion, rather than by expectations of society. In a way, she is the representative of the feminist movement that began to emerge in 1890, however, was overshadowed by the dominant images yet. Edna Adle association suggests that she give up their rebellion and return to their marriage - the level expected at the time of writing the novel. However, his association with Ms. Reisz suggests that it will lose everything except his art and pride. In a way, both the author and his heroine is going to do something revolutionary and liberating for women in the future.
Edna is seemingly caught between two influences: a strong desire for individuality and autonomy, as evidenced by Ms. Reisz, and the compliance of the comme il faut society and she sees in Ratignolle Adle. She admires the figure of Madame Ratignolle "Mrs. Pontellier liked to sit and just look at his companion as she can look at a flawless Madonna," however, "the musical strains and provided" the art of playing the piano Mademoiselle Riesz, "had a way of evoking pictures in her mind." These "pictures" are "very own passions ... awakened in her soul, swaying it, lashing it, as the waves hit your body every day wonderful."
From the beginning, the text points to the fundamental relationship Edna and Mademoiselle Reisz will experience. The story begins with Lady Leburn parrot talk that speaks English, French, English and some Spanish. It also speaks a language, "no one understands, unless it was the mockingbird that hung on the other side of the door ...." Closed and misunderstood, the parrot is Edna, who speaks a language that no one - not even her husband, friends or lovers - understands. It seems that what all the needs of Edna is a mockingbird, someone who could understand their strange language. Mademoiselle Reisz becomes Edna Mockingbird - the sweet bird who instigates her freedom later in the novel. Like the mockingbird, Mademoiselle Reisz is valued by society for his musical talent and Edna (as the parrot), for their physical appearance.
Its second meeting is when Mademoiselle Reisz for Edna shortly after Robert's departure to Mexico and strike the right chord echoing "the idea that he was always in the mind of Edna ... I constantly had the feeling it." She asks Edna, "to lose much of their friend? "Mademoiselle Reisz is the only character in the novel, that understands and encourages the love between Robert and Edna, and serves as a confidant of truth to them.
Mademoiselle Reisz exchange with Edna on the bank cultivates a relationship that continues on his return to New Orleans. Mademoiselle Reisz Edna seeks companionship when she begins to earnestly seek the personal independence. Mademoiselle Reisz, in turn warns Edna that an artist must be brave, to have "a brave soul who dares ... and challenges." Seeing how happy Mademoiselle Reisz is like a married artist Edna inspired to be more self-sufficient and to pursue his desire to paint. This is related to the meaning of the novel - the struggle of a woman's individuality while still being married. Mademoiselle Reisz Edna recognizes the same desire to escape and independence with which he lived his own life. A woman who devotes her life entirely to his art, and inspires Miss Edna model, which continues its process of awakening and independence. While Edna finds herself feeling away from his former confidant Adle, becomes closer to Mademoiselle Reisz, who is starting to look like.
It is during their first meeting in New Orleans, who plays Miss "Isolde's Song" by Edna, which foreshadows the final scene of Edna on the beach in Grand Isle, where a bird with a broken wing is sinking ominously through the air to your death in the water. The images of birds Mademoiselle Reisz is when Edna warns that "the bird that rises above the plain of tradition and prejudice that have strong wings." Through its relationship with the pianist Edna increases your awareness of herself as a woman capable of passionate art and passionate love. While the two are interconnected capabilities, Mademoiselle Reisz serves to keep each one in particular. There was nothing to calm the crisis of the sense of Edna as a visit to Mademoiselle Reisz. Parece''para reach Edna's spirit and set him free.''
Mademoiselle Reisz is Edna did not realize that leaving home because she is tired of taking care of her and feels no real connection with him as his own, but due to the smallest house allowed to be independent free. The instinct led him to save her husband's generosity and not to belong to another than herself. In addition, with their help that Edna was able to admit her love for Robert and it is in your attic that Robert finally meets when he returns from Mexico.
However, divided between the two worlds - represented by Mademoiselle Reisz and Ratignolle Adle - Edna was not able to come to terms with their new reality. In the words of Elaine Showalter, "Both the author and her heroine seems to be oscillating between two worlds, caught between the contradictory definitions of femininity and creativity ..." Sense of Chopin, the need for independence and individuality of the writing is dramatically expressed by Mademoiselle Reisz. His voice in the novel seems to speak for the author's view of art and artist. In a way, and help in the wake of the heroin Ms. Reisz is also central to literary awakening of its creator - Kate Chopin.
Mademoiselle Reisz is the woman that Edna could have been, had he lived in his old age, and remained independent of her husband and children. However, instead of running away somewhere and living alone, perhaps supporting herself as an artist in the manner of Mademoiselle Reisz, Edna is able to think only of the reputation of their children and how they would be treated when it's gone. She was not willing to define their position in the world, because it would give up the dream of full compliance. So while Ms. Reisz could control, create and command of their work, Edna was at her mercy. She felt she could not be free if she ends her life. Lonce knew that once he returned, he still would do. He also knew he could not leave her children in Iberville forever. Edna could not have true freedom I wanted with her children and husband in everything. He also knew that Robert wanted her traditional Creole women, and not at all different from Lonce. Edna realized this on their own, but she knew she could not live that way, no matter how much she loved the man. Since talks with Reisz, Edna could see this in your account.
Edna is chosen for its identity is a combination of Mademoiselle Reisz and Ratignolle Adle - more honest self-awareness that most depend on human relations Adle Reisz. Edna no longer the possession of Lonce, Raul's mother and Etienne, a toy Arobin, Robert invincible deity, but a newborn to be that, unfortunately, wants to live up to her - not male or female - own desires impracticable. Awakening of Edna, has only led to a desire to break the boundaries of his life. Edna's suicide is an awakening in itself. The symbolism of birds is a slightly different alternative: like a bird with a broken wing, Edna is a victim of fate and society. Edna wings are not strong enough to overcome gravity, she is inclined to the forces that society imposes. Edna takes chances and tries to escape from tradition. She is able to escape, but only in death, just drowning in the water. Given the choice between a quick death on his own terms against the possibility of killing herself every day again, she chose a merciful suicide.
Kate Chopin is often considered the first feminist literary voice, written years before the start of the movement in the United States. In the time period in which Chopin wrote, "feminine" was the only description of the woman still does not exist. Unquestionably, the awakening is a clear break, a rebellion of the female gaze. Awakening Edna is also the author's awakening to the fact that his bold choice of female self-discovery and self-sufficiency will be a scandal in society. As a woman, the state of Chopin as a writer was severely limited by expectations of an audience highly intolerant. When she broke all expectations, producing a work that clearly transcends not only regional but also the list established in right thinking about romance for women, the scandal was extreme. By giving his work an open end where suicide was suggested fair Chopin Edna refuses to condemn, it was another worrying factor for his contemporaries. Both Edna and her creator is the "feminine". Mademoiselle Reisz were awakened to the "feminist" way of thinking, but was not able to start in the "feminine" in the world.
