The aim of this paper is to explore the subjectivity of a Duchess in John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi. The issue of subjectivity is associated with her effort to find the meaning of life within the circles of her inner world. The Duchess of Malfi presents us with a heroine who makes her way through the chaotic world where any meaningful life cannot exist and only those who have power can survive. The duchess intentionally separates herself from the outer world, and tries to keep her subjectivity in her ‘family,’ which is built on the basis of mutual love and trust. Her family is presented as an ideal community based on the companionship of man and wife in contrast to the patriarchal society to which she belongs. On the surface, the duchess’s effort to keep her subjectivity in her private dimension is thoroughly destroyed by the brutal force of patriarchal authority. However, the values she sought in her life still remain a meaningful way of life in contrast to the state of moral wilderness of the patriarchal oppression.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore the subjectivity of a Duchess in John Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi. The issue of subjectivity is associated with her effort to find the meaning of life within the circles of her inner world. The Duchess of Malfi presents us with a heroine who makes her way through the chaotic world where any meaningful life cannot exist and only those who have power can survive. The duchess intentionally separates herself from the outer world, and tries to keep her subjectivity in her ‘family,’ which is built on the basis of mutual love and trust. Her family is presented as an ideal community based on the companionship of man and wife in contrast to the patriarchal society to which she belongs. On the surface, the duchess’s effort to keep her subjectivity in her private dimension is thoroughly destroyed by the brutal force of patriarchal authority. However, the values she sought in her life still remain a meaningful way of life in contrast to the state of moral wilderness of the patriarchal oppression.
