Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-103). Margaret Atwood's work examines the individual's struggle for identity within a prescriptive Western society that tends to divide the world into binary categories. One side of the binary is considered powerful, while the other side is less powerful. Often, those on the weaker end of the spectrum are victimised. Because the fundamental principles for these binary categories are based on patriarchal ideologies, women are the victims. The rules that govern men's and women's actions within this patriarchal system are conveyed through language and vision. Women learn social rules through communication, and these rules are reinforced through vision. 2014-10-08T09:32:37Z 2014-10-08T09:32:37Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8240 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
