Emotional Identity: An Advantage or a Setback In context to Jane Austen
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in English & Education - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Jane Austen’s personal choices in life paves the way for her discussion of the microcosm of women’s culture in the early nineteenth- century England. She gave women independent voices, while remaining within the constraints of the dominant patriarchal culture. At the same time , Austen’s novels depict the lives of women in all their quaint apparels and social amusements which actually reflected the social realities of her times. In doing this Jane Austen , I feel, emphasizes her perception of women who were unique in both reinforcing their emotional identities amidst the society then and in resisting dominant masculine culture that surrounded them. The women in her novels demonstrate their own ambivalence of representing patriarchal culture of domesticity for women as well as embracing the distinct women’s culture that enabled the independent voice of women. In my article I would discuss the role of women protagonist in Austen’s novels keeping in view their emotional identity proves a setback or an advantage for them in the course of the novels , revealing “realism”, the core aspect of Jane Austen’s fiction.
