The Awakening is a masterpiece of Kate Chopin, who is one of the forerunners of American 20th-century feminist authors. The heroine Edna is criticized for her pursuit of freedom and true love, but she actually insists on pursuing freedom until the end of her life. From the perspective of ecofeminism, this paper analyzes the social backgrounds, women’s social status and three important images used in the novel, and expresses the strong sense of ecofeminism of Kate Chopin by analyzing the course of Edna’s oppression, self-discovery and the fusion of Edna and nature. That is, it connects their similar oppressed fate to express the author’s desire to liberate and save women and nature. The thesis is divided into three parts: the first chapter elaborates what is ecofeminism, analyzing the timebackgrounds. Both women and nature are trampled by men, so the same fate between them is also elaborated. The second chapter explores the course of Edna’s awakening, including her struggle and conflict during that time. The third chapter analyzes the images used in the novel, elaborating the natural relationship between Edna and nature, and analyzes the reason why Edna chose to end her life in the sea from the perspective of ecofeminism. Ecofeminism aims at liberating women and nature, and this novel embodies Chopin’s double concern for both women and nature.
