Opis

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Literatur, Note: 2,7, Universitat Stuttgart, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Margaret Atwood's "The Edible Woman" excessively deals with expectations and displays their effects on the characters in the novel in every detail. Ultimately these expectations create gender roles, which then even suppress individualism and promote universalism. This paper discusses the different gender roles in Margaret Atwood's novel, while setting focus on influences generated by society and tradition.
