Virginia herself drowned herself by placing stones in her pockets and drowning herself. In both stories the authors feel weak in some way, shape or form. In A Chase, the author is placed in a position where she will inevitably lose to a man who is equally as quick and her once striving ego starts diminishing upon realizing that he’s going to catch her.

““But he is dead!” said the midwife” (Rogers 1) She is the first to discover that the Dead Boy is medically considered dead and is shocked to find that the mother has no desire to believe her. The mother’s refusal to believe her son is dead turns into the mother demand of the midwife to “…call the father in to know his son”. (Rogers 2) Rogers uses the midwife character to solidify the term “dead” for the story.

Learning and comprehending a life of unhappy wife in The Awakening novel namely Edna Pontellier, a dual concept of life and death is briefly sensed here. A usage of formal criticism is used in this essay because the theory focuses only on the content of the novel itself and the content which will be analized is specified into life and death concept. Life and death in Edna Pontellier’s character is not about the lexical meaning of them, but more to the emotional and physical meaning. The title The Awakening advises the idea of rebirth, renewal, and life, on the other hand, the main character who takes the major part of her awakening feels the sense of death so briefly in her life. Edna’s life which contains of unhappy marriage, adultery affair, and a force to be mother woman creates a complex character and problem, and somehow a metaphor of life and death contemplates her life in the story.
