Cliché

It actually seems like Kate Chopin is narrating another story like those of Nicholas Sparks. To me, this story resembles "The Notebook". Just like Noah, Robert is a good man that would be hard not to miss. Edna is not the only one who misses the man, but surely who misses him the most.
Allie fell in love with Noah, and although she first hid her feelings like Edna, her love always remained. Also during summer, the young couple had a brief romance, which they had to end due to Allie's parents dissaproval of unwealthy Noah. However, the love they felt since they were young was hard to avoid, forcing them to fall back together after 14 long years. The lovers couldn't be separated because their love was too strong, and they were both willing to fight for the relationship that would last over 35 years, until Allie got Alzheimer's disease. Even though there were many obstacles before these two could be able to be together, they never gave up on their love.
"The Notebook" is however just another cliché love story. We know that The Awakening narrates a story between Robert and Edna, but we don't know for sure it will have the perfect happy ending like all other romace novels. Regardless, the similarities are evident, making the novella somehow a love story too. However, the big question is, will Edna and Robert remain good friends, or will they grow into being lovers?
