- Intuiting Freud in Darwinian Times. On Edna Pontellier’s Silence and Voice in Kate Chopin’s The Awakening Raúl Sánchez Saura Lengua y Literatura Chopin Modernism Darwinism Psychoanalysis stream of consciousness A practical definition for Kate Chopin’s The Awakening is that of a ‘pre-Modernist’ novel. Even though it belongs to the 19th century, we can already perceive traces of proto-stream of consciousness in it, which would become a major technique for Modernist writers. Interestingly, stream of consciousness can be related to Freudian therapy as it consisted on the patient speaking until finding keys to the origin of their problems and because Modernist authors were the first ones to be influenced by Freudian thought. This essay shall cover these topics, but it will also analyse Chopin’s contemporary times, during which Darwin’s name was used for obscure practices of social domination against women. Thus, the asylums we can relate The Yellow Wallpaper to isolated those who did not conform to the patriarchal norm so that they would not disturb wider society. It is not only surprising that Kate Chopin avoided such fate, but also her progressiveness both as a writer and as a woman. Beyond the imposition of silence, Edna Pontellier’s thoughts become a murmur the reader has access to and, although these are mediated by the narrator, the will to speak out gains force in Chopin and paves the way to Modernists. 2018 artículo científico 2455-6580 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=703876866041 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7038 The Creative Launcher application/pdf Perception Publishing The Creative Launcher (India) Num.6 Vol.2
