250 word response The Awakening

I found  this book really boring. I started reading the book the day break started while I was on my airplane ride to CA and I fell asleep within the first chapter. But ANYWAYS, the first few chapters were just an introduction to the novel but after a while, I started to get really irritated with Mr Pontellier because of the way he treated his wife. He acted as though she was only good for caring for the children, cooking, and cleaning. I found it EXTREMELY upsetting the way the men treated women because they treated them as material objects instead of people. It seems like Edna was almost scared to show her feelings about things because of the way men treated women. “How many years have I slept?” she inquired. “. . . A new race of beings must have sprung up, leaving only you and me as past relics.”  This quote  is an example of the revolution that occured during the time and the changes that made a difference upon the way women are treated.
