Read the excerpt from the awakening.
a certain light was beginning to dawn dimly within her,—the light which, showing the way, forbids it.
at that early period it served but to bewilder her. it moved her to dreams, to thoughtfulness, to the shadowy anguish which had overcome her the midnight when she had abandoned herself to tears.
which statement best explains how the excerpt reveals a moment of epiphany for mrs. pontellier?
she is unable to accept the changes she is going through.
she is beginning to view life with a different perspective.
she is beginning to accept her role as mother and wife.
she is unable to imagine a life different than the one she has.
