Topic > Representation of women by four authors - 1228

Men and women have different life experiences, the writing of male and female authors will also be different. Some people believe that male authors are incapable of writing accurately from a female perspective or presenting feminist ideals because they have not experienced life as women. When writing about women it is possible that authors describe them differently depending on gender and culture. But there are cases where male authors can illustrate women who represent the stereotypical woman. To explore these themes, I studied the representation of women in four novels: two novels by male writers, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway, and two novels by female writers, Kate Chopin and Sandra Cisneros. In the novels of Henry James, female characters focus their attention on an idea that they feel they can realize or realize if only they could devote their intellectual abilities to it with adequate understanding and tolerance. Much of Daisy Miller's plot hinges on the narrator's effort to understand the puzzle of other people's lives, to determine the degree to which the female characters understand their own destiny, and to decide whose judgment on them and himself should be withheld. . James wrote to Daisy Miller after hearing how some members of European high society spoke with dislike of the behavior, lack of culture, and lack of social status of people who had recently acquired wealth and who sought to connect with wealthy women. aristocracies. The novel compares the rigid social laws of Europe and the independent and eccentric spirit of a young American woman. Daisy Miller was considered a typical American woman. James used this story to convey a message about how society views an individual who has just arrived from somewhere else…middle of the paper…rearchal societies and creating positive female characters. In James Daisy Miller's novel, the character focuses his attention on an idea that he feels he could realize or realize if only he could devote his spirit or intellectual faculties to it with sufficient understanding and patience. Chopin was not afraid to propose that women want something they could not normally have, such as autonomy. Hemingway describes a woman who loves a man completely and that love and respect she has makes her a stereotypical woman. Cisneros illustrated Cleophila as unhappy, and her passive acceptance of suffering for love that she learns as she grows up makes her especially vulnerable to her abusive husband. Finally, during my research, I kept in mind that gender is socially constructed. It represents accepted ideas about what it means to be a woman.
