초록

The purpose of this study is to analyze the reversal of conventional gender roles, women’s economic power and motherhood in Caryl Churchill’s Owners. In Owners, male characters are passive and dependent on their wives, whereas female characters are more active and independent. Churchill avoids focusing on mere biological differences and displays new directions and possibilities for women’s liberation. This paper examines how women’s economic power affects the domestic environment and relationship with a husband through an analysis of two female characters. This paper also discusses motherhood, which has been idealized and degraded by men, and revitalize the power of motherhood that is exerted not only in the domestic environment and personal aspects, but also in the social aspect. Owners shows that women should have economic means which will provide them with independence and liberation from oppression and have motherhood to change themselves and others. Both economic power and motherhood could be a powerful methods in overcoming oppression.
