Adele

My subject for this style profile was Adele Ory a twenty-year-old student at Louisiana State University. Born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana, Adele lives in Baton Rouge while she attends school. She is a heterosexual, cisgender female, who is additionally a member of Delta Gamma sorority. Adele is a full time student but also works on campus as an aide in the Mass Communications Department. Adele’s look for the day featured running tennis shoes, athletic leggings, a sorority t-shirt, and a pull-over

portrayed in The Awakening shows their strong disbelief or curiosity toward freedom from the conventional mould of society so clearly. The one female character who seems to be okay with her patriarchal roles, but might in fact a feminist in disguise is Adele Ratignolle. Chopin shows this through Adele’s character and through Adele’s interactions with her husband,

further argues that gender and time period dictate the manner in which one behaves. Themes of feminism are evident throughout The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Chopin uses contrasting characters such as Edna Pontellier and Adele Ratignolle to further embody the differing aspects of feminism. Adele Ratignolle represents the ideal woman of the time period, a mindless housewife working to serve her family, whereas Edna signifies an independent and daring woman who does not conform to society’s beliefs. These

descriptions of Edna and Adele relating to their personalities. Edna’s figure is noble and symmetrical while Adele’s (from Chapter IV) is plump and matronly. Here Edna is wearing a cool muslin dress with a streak of brown running through it. Adele is dressed in pure white, in a fluffy dress with ruffles. Edna’s physical being is always described in more masculine terms than Adele’s. Sitting at the beach, Edna, as always, is focused on the sea. She is gazing so intently that Adele asks what she is thinking

‘forgetting to forget’. Where adeles memories are a trauma, and very much tried to forget, willies memories are a solace to him, and a way for him to cope with his failures. Both detail an unchronological slip of a figure into mental illness, and both end in death. Both glorify the ‘American’ dream (in the case of soucouyant, the Canadian dream) and the main characters of both are outliers on this dream, coming close but never seeming to reach it. However, in Adele and Rogers case, this is due to

In Kate Chopin’s The Awakening, there are three major female characters that help depict Victorian society from different perspectives. To be a good person in Edna’s society meant being a "mother-woman" who completely surrenders her sense of self in favor of her husband and children. In the beginning of the novel Edna is comfortable with her life and does not recognize her true desires. It is not until she is at Grand Isle and grows passion for Robert, where she finally begins her awakening and yearns

through the personal growth of its protagonist, Edna Pontellier. Of all the characters that contributed to Edna’s awakening, perhaps Adèle Ratignolle and Robert Lebrun had the greatest impact on her. At first, Edna’s adoration of Adèle borders on worship, “Mrs. Pontellier liked to sit and gaze at her fair companion as she might look upon a faultless Madonna.” Adèle, as the “embodiment of every womanly grace and charm” is a perfect Victorian wife and mother-woman. These mother-women, as Edna dubs

Adele Wechsler knew her career would be in fashion from a young age. After three years studying design at the prestigious Natal Technikon, Durban, and passing with honors and distinction, Adele worked for a time in Cape Town as an assistant for a high fashion sportswear company; her first real taste of the fashion world. However, her professional life in South Africa was cut short. Nine months after moving to Cape Town, Adele met her future husband, and immigrated with him to Toronto, Canada. This
