Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrates two prototypes of Victorian women respectively in “A Scandal in Bohemia” and “The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger.” While the former presents a prototype of the new woman who was autonomous, sagacious, and assertive at the fin de siècle, the latter reveals the miserable reality of most women’s lifestyle in which the wife was physically and legally subject to the husband and was abused by him. The woman married in that society because a husband was the only way for her to ensure her survival; however, the once-loving husband often turned out to be a barbarous predator as in “The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger.” Focusing on the female characters in the two stories, in this paper, I will inspect the characters as manifestations of Doyle’s thoughts and examine how women are portrayed and treated and what the significance of his approaches can be. I will borrow ideas from feminist critics and some of the Victorian sociology so as to explicate Doyle’s presentation of women.
Abstract
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle illustrates two prototypes of Victorian women respectively in “A Scandal in Bohemia” and “The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger.” While the former presents a prototype of the new woman who was autonomous, sagacious, and assertive at the fin de siècle, the latter reveals the miserable reality of most women’s lifestyle in which the wife was physically and legally subject to the husband and was abused by him. The woman married in that society because a husband was the only way for her to ensure her survival; however, the once-loving husband often turned out to be a barbarous predator as in “The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger.” Focusing on the female characters in the two stories, in this paper, I will inspect the characters as manifestations of Doyle’s thoughts and examine how women are portrayed and treated and what the significance of his approaches can be. I will borrow ideas from feminist critics and some of the Victorian sociology so as to explicate Doyle’s presentation of women.
