In Kate Chopin's The Awakening (1899), protagonist Edna Pontellier is said to possess "That outward existence which conforms, the inward life that questions." In a novel or play that you have studied, identify a character who outwardly conforms while questioning inwardly. Then write an essay in which you analyze how this tension between outward conformity and inward questioning contributes to the meaning of the work. Avoid mere plot summary.
Strategy:
- Talk about his physical shortcomings
- Lenina and other character's reactions to his nonconformist ideas.
- How he sees women and relationships with others.
- When he goes to the Fordson Community Singery and he fakes the feeling of the Ford coming.
- How the success and admiration of the Savage went to his head
