Male Dominance and Female Resistance in Naguib MahfOuz’s selected NOvels: a case Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
The focal point of this paper is to investigate on issues that affect politics and to explore the contemporary nature of male dominance and female resistance in Arab society, mainly in Egypt by referring to three of Naguib Mahfouz‟s novels namely: Midaq Alley, Palace Walk, and Miramar. These selected writings of Mahfouz are used as the central body of this study due to their significance, which centralize mostly on many dilemmas that Arab communities face today in light of modernity, western influences, and religion. The significance and importance of this paper also lies in the fact that sexual equality in the sphere of gender roles and authority is one of the principles of women‟s liberation movement. It shows that women can rebel like men, do their own wish, and to be self-governing as men do.
