Representing Perpetrator Trauma in Ian McEwan’s The Children Act

The theoretical framework is based on Ryan et al.'s model of narrative space and Baker's framin…
Abject Desires in Lisa See’s Peony in Love
The establishment of the Manchu led-Qing dynasty in 1636 led to the continuation of Confucianism as the dominant belief system in China. Based on these Confucian principles of patrilineality and patrilocality, women were expected to portray exemplary feminine virtues that required them to remain subservient and obedient to the men in her family. This oppressive practice placed women lower in the hierarchy as, unlike men, they were denied the mean…
