Gender and Modernist Implications of Selected Portions of Virginia Woolf’s “The Waves”
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page analysis of Virginia Woolf’s thematic presentation of women and their role society. Rather than resorting to the stereotypical images of women which so much predominated literature at this point in history, Woolf exposes us to a view of women which suggests independence and fortitude. Through this work we are presented with a significant reconsideration of culture and gender and pertinent observation on the way people act within a specific cultural context to deliberately alter those very contexts. Suggest that in many ways this book appears to be written in direct opposition to the concepts of Straussian theory, a theory of binary opposition between nature and culture which revolves around the economic value of the wife in a patriarchal society with the contention the woman was not a subject but an object to be bartered in the interest of promoting the all-important male status. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Gender And Power In Jane Austen's "Pride And Prejudice"
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The relationship between gender and power is a popular theme in many of Jane Austen's novels, but perhaps nowhere is it a more significant focal point to the story's overall theme than in "Pride and Prejudice." The type of power available to women in late eighteenth century England is quite restrained, to say the least, by oppressive patriarchal influence; that Austen's female characters are allowed to overrule standard social dictate is indicative of the author's trend setting approach to gender issues. As well, the types of limitations women faced more than two hundred years ago – secondary to their male counterparts, prevented from seeking out their own paths in life, powerless against the patriarchal system – are made mockery of in Austen's novel, inasmuch as these particular women are given the literary power to pursue whatever they want. An example of gender and power in "Pride and Prejudice" is examining the interplay between Darcy and Elizabeth, as well as Charlotte and Elizabeth's individual views about marriage. No additional sources cited.

A five page comparison of Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein" and Evelyn Fox Keller's nonfiction book "Reflections on Gender and Science." Particular stress is placed on the degree to which each author believes empiricism is gendered, and how the scientific community -- both in the nineteenth century and today -- has constructed and directed its own areas of study. Bibliography lists five sources.
