Read the excerpt from chapter 11 of the awakening.

edna began to feel like one who awakens gradually out of a dream, a delicious, grotesque, impossible dream, to feel again the realities pressing into her soul. the physical need for sleep began to overtake her; the exuberance which had sustained and exalted her spirit left her and yielding to the conditions which crowded her in.

which best explains how the excerpt is an example of naturalism?
edna has no control over her human condition and the realities of her life.
edna is resistant to the natural forces and rhythms of her humanness.
edna is able to free herself from her reality through a vivid fantasy life.
edna shows a natural need for sleep that all living creatures require.

The correct answer is:

Edna has no control over her human condition and the realities of her life.

Naturalism is a literary movement from the late nineteenth century, opposite to Romanticism, and characterized by its embrace of determinism, detachment, objectivism, and social analysis.

Kate Chopin's narrative style in The Awakening is naturalism, with a focus on human behavior and the complexities of social constructions. In this particular excerpt, the author shows that Edna is conflicted between both disgust and delightfulness provoked by the changes taking place inside her and the lack of control over her human condition and the realities of her life.

the correct answer is the first one.
