10. Discuss The Stone Angel as a novel of awakening citing examples from the text.
The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence is a novel that explores the life of Hagar Shipley, an elderly woman reflecting on her past as she faces the end of her life. Throughout the novel, Hagar undergoes a process of awakening in which she comes to terms with the mistakes she has made in her life and begins to understand the value of human connection and emotional vulnerability. This process of awakening is evident in several key moments throughout the novel.
One of the most significant moments of awakening for Hagar occurs when she visits the cemetery where her son, John, is buried. Up until this point in the novel, Hagar has been deeply resistant to confronting her own mortality and the emotions that come with it. However, in this scene, she is confronted with the reality of death and the depth of her own grief over the loss of her son. This experience prompts Hagar to reflect on her own life and the ways in which she has pushed away those who care for her.
