This research paper will analyzes how Janie achieves her self-awakening in the man-dominated society through Janie's childhood and her three periods of completely different marriages.展开更多

Being her representative work, the novel depicts stories of the heroine Janie. It is generally believed that this novel indicates how African American women get their identity. However, in this paper, efforts are made to analyze the incompleteness of Janie's self based on a close reading. By using theories related with feminism, this paper argues that Janie's lack of self-awareness and her compromises in three marriages contribute to the incompleteness of her self. Besides, her voice has been neglected throughout the novel.展开更多

It attempts to study this work from the perspective of feminism. By depicting the fate of the three typical black women Eva, Sula and Nel, it provides meaningful ideas for the study of Sula and the way for black women to explore themselves, and also gives readers a deeper understanding of the process of black women’s self-construction and the black culture. Finally it concludes that the selfworth of black women is deeply rooted in the black culture. When pursuing independence, people should realize that self-worth and the national cultural traditions should link together deeply.展开更多

In the novel the author calls for a complete emancipation of sex between man and woman, which is the ideal balance of human being. Systematically and comprehensively, my essay will analyze the characters' marriages, including Connie's parents, her sister, Clifford and Connie, Mellors and his wife, and the ideal couple — Mellors and Connie. Through them, the essay will explore D.H. Lawrence's view of marriage and finally judge the view.展开更多

In those studies that have, most have directed their attention toward Gao＇s novels, and many scholars have come to regard Gao as a misogynist writer. This paper examines Gao＇s attitude toward gender through an analysis of his plays, specifically Between Life and Death （Shengsijie, 1991）. The theatrical medium illustrates a more complex elaboration of gender representation than those seen in Gao＇s novels---one that complicates conceptions of the writer＇s misogyny. Focusing on Between Life and Death, I assert that Gao＇s alleged misogyny is a misrepresentation. Regarding my theoretical approach, I make particular reference to feminist theorists such as Julia K_dsteva and Judith Butler. The debate is linked to Gao＇s concept of an un-gendered/originary self and considers the use of dramatic devices--specifically focusing on the use of tripartition.展开更多
