Description

Literature is often considered as a "place" of representing social and political elements and could stand as a powerful source of constantly rising conclusions about the way gender roles in it follow standardized semiotic patterns based on what is falsely considered as socially "objective" aesthetics. Some texts, through gender representations can offer a critical review and can form the basis of a gender-related interpretation able to reveal the unconscious world of prejudiced aesthetics. Hawthorne’s, The Birthmark is a “memorandum” of the social debt of literature and the politics of gender.

Notes

The psychological war of aesthetic excellence through the concept of consent, in a textual representation of the 19th century
