As an advocate for feminism,George Bernard Shaw,to awaken especially women to their subordinate and captivated posi?tion and opportunity for being New woman,wrote Candida in a time when women were stuck into“the virgin mother”role.Howev?er,from the perspective of feminist semiotic theory,we found that although creating a new woman different from the one defined by the common standard,Bernard Shaw still didn’t break the chain of portraying a“sign woman”-“the virgin mother”controlled by the patriarchal prejudice from male gaze.In addition,Candida becomes an object portrayed through two men characters and she be?comes the means to expose the developing of man character rather than the subject in the play.And Shaw’s limited feminism is al?so reflected in his other plays.Therefore,Bernard Shaw is an incomplete feminist. 相似文献

All human relationships are constructed and defined by the relative power of the interacting persons. Women, most often than not have been defined in all spheres of life in terms of their relationships with men. Most literary texts written by men over the years have tended to give women subordinate roles. A new trend however seems to have emerged with the appearance of women writers on the scene. These writers have sought to reconstruct these negative stereotypes by redefining the role of the woman in the light of current global and contemporary trends. This article sought to examine how Doris Lessing in her Golden Notebook has given voice to feminist concerns through her major protagonist:Anna Wulf. The article specifically looks at how Anna challenges patriarchal conventions and choose to express herself through writing initially considered to be the sole preserve of men. The article used the feminist literary theory as the main instrument for analysis. 相似文献
