The dispute whether men are better than woman, or "where exactly does the woman belong?" has been around for ages. Is it at home cooking and cleaning? Or perhaps raising their children while the men is out working, out with colleagues, out having fun? I chose to read Beloved by Toni Morrison through a feminist lens because even though times have change and the woman is a working woman now, Men are still intimidated by woman with power. We still have men that tell women where they supposedly belong. As a young woman I will like to compare my life with this book. I believe that woman should be treated equally, and have rights. The Marxism lens is somewhat like the feminine lens, it is comparing the different class levels/race. How they treat each other, I was considering this lens, because I also believe that all races should be treated equally. I’m looking forward to understanding why women had less power than man, and to really dig down why men put the women down.
I really like the fact that you are going to try and connect/compare the story of Beloved to your own personal traits through the Feminist Lens. Not to mention that you also suggest that the Marxist lens also portrays what you will be trying to accomplish-- i'm really looking forward to reading your blog posts!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you included examples to give me an idea of what you are trying to highlight in your blogs while using the feminist lens. I also like how you establish what you are trying to get out of reading Beloved through the feminist lens. I really look forward to reading more!
