The awakening Storyboard
Storyboard Text
- I'm Edna Pontellier and I am spending the summer in Grand Isle with my family! I don't feel like I belong, but I'm going to try and make the most of it!
- This is Robert, and he is my best friend here in Grand Isle. I think I am beginning to have feelings for him, but that's impossible because I'm married! That's unacceptable! I better forget about these feelings ASAP!
- This is Madame Ratignolle, an amazing mother to her children. She is beautiful in every way, and fits the standards of what a woman should be. I wish that I could be more like her!
- We love you, Mom!
- Wow! Swimming makes me feel so free! I wish that I could feel this way all the time, but my society causes me to feel weak and small compared to men. I've never felt this way before, and I could get used to this!
- Narrator:"But that night she was like the little tottering, stumbling, clutching child, who of a sudden realizes its powers, and walks for the first time alone, boldly and without over-confidence"
- Robert left, and now, we are back home. I am so happy to be free of all those people who made me feel as though I didn't fit in. They were women who idolized their children, worshiped their husbands, and esteemed it a holy privilege to efface themselves as individuals and grow wings as ministering angels. I have no purpose anymore.
- I can't do this anymore. Society's expectations have become too much for me to handle. I love you all, goodbye.
- Goodbye...
