The dominant theme that Margaret Atwood foregrounds in her writing is that of victimisation, whether she is writing of the victimisation of a country, of a minority group, of animals or of an individual. She adopts the position that through acknowledgement of that victimisation, and a refusal to accept the role of victim, it is possible to become a creative non-victim. It soon becomes evident from Atwood's writing that victimisation of one kind or another is what underpins the powerful patriarchal constructions of society. In each of the four novels discussed in this thesis Atwood's female protagonists, all victims of patriarchy, transform themselves, through accessing their creativity, using it transgressively, and overcoming the strictures of patriarchy upon their lives. 2014-12-30T06:37:58Z 2014-12-30T06:37:58Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10510 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
