The Awakening and Khwamrak Khrang Sutthai are literary reflections of
women’s alienation. The novels mirror women’s status and their psychology so that
the society will realize women’s problems and their viewpoints. Edna and Ros are
two representative creations of women who encounter the problem of being “other”.
Their miserable lives are instances of the suffering situations of women, social
victims whose individual desire is considered wrong.
