초록
This paper is to read Claire Keegan’s short story, Foster (2010), which is displayed in a timeless rural Ireland from a daughter’s perspective. Unlike contemporary Irish women writers who directly disclose women’s plight and inferiority in the family, Keegan only shows women and girls as they are, focusing on the quality of seeing rather than on criticizing a gendered and patriarchal society. To do this, Keegan uses the first-person present tense or the simultaneous narration which has the first-person narrator relate the events as they happen without any judgment and criticism. This narrative mode highlights the moment of change or realization, which is considered as an epiphany whose meaning in Keegan’s Foster is secularized by describing the narrator’s normal life, instead of the meaning of the “spiritual manifestation.” For instance, the well the narrator visits symbolizes her growth by drinking clean water and deciding not to say anything about her drowning. This moment of change leads the narrator to learn how to behave, what to do, and furthermore to cut across the gender divide. Also, the effect of the open-ending in Foster underscores the narrator’s development, after learning the virtues of respect and resistance from the foster family, the Kinsellas.
Abstract
This paper is to read Claire Keegan’s short story, Foster (2010), which is displayed in a timeless rural Ireland from a daughter’s perspective. Unlike contemporary Irish women writers who directly disclose women’s plight and inferiority in the family, Keegan only shows women and girls as they are, focusing on the quality of seeing rather than on criticizing a gendered and patriarchal society. To do this, Keegan uses the first-person present tense or the simultaneous narration which has the first-person narrator relate the events as they happen without any judgment and criticism. This narrative mode highlights the moment of change or realization, which is considered as an epiphany whose meaning in Keegan’s Foster is secularized by describing the narrator’s normal life, instead of the meaning of the “spiritual manifestation.” For instance, the well the narrator visits symbolizes her growth by drinking clean water and deciding not to say anything about her drowning. This moment of change leads the narrator to learn how to behave, what to do, and furthermore to cut across the gender divide.
