| Summary: | This research attempts to compare and critically analyse two selected novels by
Suchen Christine Lim from a feminist literary point of view. The feminist literary
criticism would specifically be drawn upon from a Third World feminist perspective.
Particularly focusing on Fistful of Colours (1993) and A Bit of Earth (2001), this
research critically analyses the representations of women in the two novels. The
women in the two novels experience various social circumstances. Their
subordination and oppressed situations were greatly affected by patriarchy and other
factors. These factors range from the women’s social castes and classes to their
personal values and beliefs. |
