In the novel, Marie's suffering is not only from the fraudulence of her sister, but also from the oppression ofmale by the perspective of feminism.In the family, it implies that she is oppressed by male, which can be understood from the differ-ence of their jobs and the traditional image of her mother, while in the society, she suffers a lot from Jansen, which can be seen fromthe descriptive perspective of appearance of Marie, the dialogue between waitress and Jansen, the dialogue between Marie and Jan-sen as well as Jansen's decision to the leaving of Marie. The double oppression of Marie's suffering both reflects the unequal posi-tion of male and female.By this analysis, it can impulse female to improve themselves and it also calls on female to get along wellwith male by the appropriate way.展开更多
