The Handmaid's Tale By Margaret Atwood: Examining Its Utopian, Dystopian, Feminist And Postmodernist Traditions, Angela Michelle Gulick

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Nineteen eighty-four, it seems, was a banner year for authors of dystopian literature. The world anxiously waited to evaluate the accuracy of a vision of the "perfect society" gone awry that had been described by George Orwell in perhaps his best-known work, And at the time that we looked for examples of Orwellian prophecy come true in our own societies, Margaret Atwood was writing a text that was arguably to take over where 1984 left off. Atwood's ~ Handmaid's Tale. itself an example of dystopian fiction focusing on physical and spiritual oppression, media manipulation, and the control of human ...

Significant Themes In 19th-Century Literature, Matthew L. Jockers, David Mimno

Faculty Publications -- Department of English

External factors such as author gender, author nationality, and date of publication affect both the choice of literary themes in novels and the expression of those themes, but the extent of this association is difficult to quantify. In this work, we apply statistical methods to identify and extract hundreds of "topics" from a corpus of 3,346 works of 19th-century British, Irish, and American fiction. We use these topics as a measurable, data-driven proxy for literary themes. External factors may predict fluctuations in the use of themes and the individual word choices within themes. We use topics to measure the ...

Women As Victims In Tennessee Williams' First Three Major Plays, Ruth Foley

Masters Theses

Although Tennessee Williams does not openly champion the rights of women in his plays, he presents strong cases against their social alienation in a harsh and brutal world governed by men. Williams' emotional leanings, sensitivity, and intuition enable him to see life through women's eyes. In The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire, and Summer and Smoke, Williams astutely sounds the battle cry for women to fight against male oppression. He shows how Amanda Wingfield, Laura Wingfield, Blanche Dubois, Stella Kowalski, and Alma Winemiller are held hostage to the rules governing patriarchal society and become unhappy marginalized victims. The ...

Care of the Self and the Will to Freedom

Stephanie Batters

Faculty Sponsor: Stephen Barber, English

What do subjectivity, power and ethics have in common? For French philosopher Michel Foucault, each of these concepts inherently resides within the others. His works, spanning from the mid-1950s to his death in 1984, offer a profound theoretical approach to the complex questions that obtain between the individual and society. Foucault’s works present careful and intricate theories about the relationships of the past with the present, the individual with society, and power with truth. Many of his writings explore how the individual is ...
