"The Awakening" by Henry Bordeaux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Elizabeth Molay-Norrois and her tumultuous marriage to Albert Derize, a renowned historian. The story unfolds as Elizabeth seeks divorce after discovering her husband's infidelity, revealing the complexities of personal relationships and societal expectations surrounding love and marriage. The opening of the novel presents the initial steps of the divorce proceedings for Elizabeth and Albert Derize. As the legal petition is drafted in a law office in Grenoble, a cast of supporting characters—including clerks and lawyers—discuss the scandal surrounding the case. This scene sets the tone for the exploration of themes such as betrayal, societal judgment, and the struggle for personal autonomy. The narrative introduces Elizabeth's character, her imposing family background, and hints at her internal conflicts regarding her husband's unfaithfulness, thereby laying the groundwork for the emotional turmoil she will face as the separation process unfolds.
