A Reader-Response Perspective
A reader-Response perspective According to Paula S. Treichle, "The form of the language, [in The Awakening], insists that the problems of Edna's situation are genuine and cannot be fully resolved; the meaning of the novel exists, in part, in its verbal form" (Walker 308).
