초록
The purpose of this paper is to trace Charles’s and Sarah’s existence and identity through transformation of self-awareness and its development with a focus on sexuality between them in Fowles’ The French Lieutenant’s Woman. Fowles, as an existentialist, was deeply concerned with human existence and existential freedom, which he consistently employed as a main theme in his works. Fowles argues that he must respect the autonomy of his characters. The relationship between the unleashing of feminine sexuality and the transgression of hierarchies is stressed everywhere. There is a strict Victorian dichotomy of soul and body, a dichotomy in which the soul is privileged. Sexuality, then suggests the immediate rupture of this soul/body hierarchy. Fowles’s three endings in The French Lieutenant’s Woman correspond to his rejection of an absolute order. In this way Fowles uses sexuality to celebrate a radical freedom from older novelistic conventions and from existential restraints on them. Charles and Sarah break all the bounds that restrain them through the energy source of sexuality, and recognize not only their self-discovery but their own freedom and potential possibilities as well.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to trace Charles’s and Sarah’s existence and identity through transformation of self-awareness and its development with a focus on sexuality between them in Fowles’ The French Lieutenant’s Woman. Fowles, as an existentialist, was deeply concerned with human existence and existential freedom, which he consistently employed as a main theme in his works. Fowles argues that he must respect the autonomy of his characters. The relationship between the unleashing of feminine sexuality and the transgression of hierarchies is stressed everywhere. There is a strict Victorian dichotomy of soul and body, a dichotomy in which the soul is privileged. Sexuality, then suggests the immediate rupture of this soul/body hierarchy. Fowles’s three endings in The French Lieutenant’s Woman correspond to his rejection of an absolute order. In this way Fowles uses sexuality to celebrate a radical freedom from older novelistic conventions and from existential restraints on them. Charles and Sarah break all the bounds that restrain them through the energy source of sexuality, and recognize not only their self-discovery but their own freedom and potential possibilities as well.
