Overall, the book involves feminism and social confinement. Through the use of clothing symbols in The Awakening, Kate Chopin shows the confinements of women in the Victorian age.

The purpose of these items was to hide the women from society- to keep them pure and constricted. With these items she is fully dressed at the beginning. The sun bonnets and the parasols literally keep the sun away and figuratively keep the women from seeing society and the true life of people. These items keep them secluded from the ugliness of society and the new ideas that some people have. The gloves keep the women from literally touching the world; they should be kept under control. The cover illustration displays the typically Victorian clothing where Edna is literally and figuratively secluded from society. When Edna goes swimming, travels to the island, and finally when she dies she always undresses. This symbolically removes society from her body paralleling the removal of her clothes. Edna's lack of clothing exposes who she really is and her individuality. She sheds her clothes in order to find herself without society trying to pull her towards the traditional Victorian roles. As Edna progresses in her self discovery, she takes more and more clothes off until there are no more and she is free.

What came first twilight or The Vampire Diaries?

The Twilight novel was published in 2005 and The Vampire Diaries first novel, The Awakening, was published in 1999, so The Vampire Diaries novels came before Twilight. But, Twilight, the movie, premiered in 2008 and The Vampire Diaries television series premiered in 2009.
