What is Eating Marian MacAlpin?: A Feminist Reading of Margaret Atwood´s The Edible Woman. 2000 (engelsk)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor)Oppgave

Abstract [en]

In my essay I discuss how the protagonist, in Margaret Atwood´s novel The Edible Woman, feels trapped and isolated in a male dominated world. I also discuss the concepts of victimisation, objectification and consumption of women in the novel, and how it is that the men in the book are seen as the consumers and the women as the ones being consumed. By looking on the novel from a point of view combining feminist and psychological concerns I show in my essay what derestating effects patriarchal, consumer obsessed society may have on a young woman´s life.
