The awakening

乌英格

Edna's ending is tragic，She is the realization of her true self, although the constraints of reality, the pressure of society, but she at least did not give in, eventually even in the eternal sea to end her life, there, she at least felt free, she belongs completely to herself, follow her own heart. She is really free.
The heroine of the novel once said: I can sacrifice myself for the sake of the child, but I can not sacrifice my own self. She can give up her life for the sake of her child, not that she doesn't love her child, but she can't lose her ego, this is as a person, should have had the sense.
