초록
The purpose of this article is to examine gender representation in Alice books written by Lewis Carroll. The notable fantasy worlds Alice visits show many unique and strange peculiar characters such as the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and Humpty Dumpty. They have nonsensical personalities and make Alice’s adventures in two worlds exciting. However, the readers can also see the women characters who are always angry and shout in shrill and rough voices impatiently: the Queen of Hearts, the Duchess, the cook, and the Red Queen. The reason why these female characters are always angry is associated with the domestic ideology which requires female’s obedience and sacrifice to make home an ideal and perfect place. To support male-centered society and nurture children at home, female needs to endure any difficulties she has to face with. If the burden she must carry to support the dominant ideology is too heavy and harsh, she would fail and collapse. Then she would go mad. The Queen of Hearts, the Duchess, the cook in the Duchess’s house, and the Red Queen seem to have too much burden to endure given by the strict and oppressive dominant ideology of the nineteenth century. This makes them always impatient and easily turn into crimson with rage. Even though they may try to overcome the limits while demanding “Off his head,” throwing dishes or pans, and running desperately to stay where she is, they don’t succeed. When they have much more oppression through the male-ordered society, they will be the White Queen, who is already out of her mind.
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to examine gender representation in Alice books written by Lewis Carroll. The notable fantasy worlds Alice visits show many unique and strange peculiar characters such as the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, the Mock Turtle, and Humpty Dumpty. They have nonsensical personalities and make Alice’s adventures in two worlds exciting. However, the readers can also see the women characters who are always angry and shout in shrill and rough voices impatiently: the Queen of Hearts, the Duchess, the cook, and the Red Queen. The reason why these female characters are always angry is associated with the domestic ideology which requires female’s obedience and sacrifice to make home an ideal and perfect place. To support male-centered society and nurture children at home, female needs to endure any difficulties she has to face with. If the burden she must carry to support the dominant ideology is too heavy and harsh, she would fail and collapse. Then she would go mad. The Queen of Hearts, the Duchess, the cook in the Duchess’s house, and the Red Queen seem to have too much burden to endure given by the strict and oppressive dominant ideology of the nineteenth century. This makes them always impatient and easily turn into crimson with rage. Even though they may try to overcome the limits while demanding “Off his head,” throwing dishes or pans, and running desperately to stay where she is, they don’t succeed. When they have much more oppression through the male-ordered society, they will be the White Queen, who is already out of her mind.
