The Narration of Clothes:On The Awakening from the Perspective of New Materialism
The New Materialist Approach which started in the 1990s holds that concrete objects can be one of the critical paths for the study of character shaping and construction.In the novel The Awakening,the heroine Edna goes through three stages of wearing a fancy dress,taking off the fancy dress and finally being naked,which shows the dynamic shaping of Edna's identity and her ultimate pursuit of"self"that is"impossible but desirable",revealing the helpless tragic fate of women under the deep-rooted patriarchal discourse system at the end of the 19th century.
