According to human history,there are varieties of ways through which the feminine aspect of nature faced and in many cases,overcame oppression.One of the ways this phenomenon displays itself is in the literary works that we deem as realistic and an expression of the norms and customs of the society in question.Sister Carrie and My Antonia are two such literary pieces that embody the struggles and triumphs of women in the 19th and most of the early 20th century.In creating such monumental and naturalistic adaptations,both authors are able to present the case of two migratory women from different backgrounds but confined by the norms and mannerisms of the society around them.The struggles that each of these characters undergoes is an expression of the underlying constraints that the paternal and chauvinistic society of their time places upon both women and the natural world.The eco-feminist agenda,however,gets a more elaborate representation in My Antonia than in Sister Carrie due to a variety of factors that serve to illuminate the differences between these two iconic stories.This paper makes a thorough comparison between two literary works—Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser and My Antonia by Willa Cather from the perspective of eco-feminism. 相似文献

The purpose of this essay is to study whether the linguistic behaviour of adult women using hedging and tags as indicative of an intrinsically tentative gender identity or of the effects of male dominant position through analyzing daily conversations of the heterosexual couples.The small scale study employs the methodology,namely,recording spontaneous and natural spoken conversation from authentic interaction with the permission of the ten male-female couples.Digital record pen with an omnidirectional microphone are placed in the central living area of each couple’s home.Then discourse analysis provides data making it possible to support Fishman’s claim that women use tag questions and ’you know’ not because women are not being really sure of themselves,or are looking to the addressee for confirmation,but because men in a dominant position often refuse to take responsibility for the smooth conduct of interpersonal relations,women use tag questions and ’you know’ to elicit and maintain conversations. 相似文献

John Steinbeck(1902-1968) is a famous American novelist. The Chrysanthemums was considered to be one of his finest short stories which has become progressively more influential in gender studies during the following decades. As the protagonist, Elisa unfolds herself in front of the readers about her rebellion and submission to the reigning patriarchal ideology. In the paper, I try to present Elisa’s mind journey in a male-dominating society, using gender studies analysis. The theme of this story is to describe women’s position in a male-centered and controlled culture. In order to give a most justifiable analysis of the theme of this short story, I base my study of Elisa’s mind journey on the prospective of gender studies. 相似文献
