Summary/Abstract: This article examines Kate Chopin’s novel The Awakening from the perspective of Sartre’s ontology and ethics. The study starts with a short introduction to existentialism and its main representatives. Then, it analyses the novel by applying Sartre’s phenomenological ontology of being and its three structures (being in-itself, being for-itself, and being for-others). Finally, the book’s main ideas are explored through Sartre’s ethical concepts of freedom and responsibility, authenticity and bad faith
