Study of the Female Protagonists of The Scarlet Letter, Daisy Miller and Gone With the Wind With Regard to the Social Perspectives of Their Periods GHATE VARSHA H. English
Material type:
TextPublication details: Pune SI(DU) 2017Description: x,213Subject(s): Summary: This study essentially explores the emancipating journeys of three American female protagonists
– Hester Prynne, Daisy Miller and Scarlett O’Hara – in patriarchal societies and their quest for
selfhood. It also comments on the roles of three other prominent women characters in the Gone
With the Wind (Ellen, Mammy and Melanie) who influence and shape the behavior of the main
protagonist, Scarlett. Being a woman, the aspect that has interested me, as well as has been a
matter of deep concern is: the status of women vis-à-vis men; and the role of society, in not just
determining that status but imposing it too. The female protagonists chosen for this study
consciously defy the diktats of the society and emerge as symbols of female rebellion in the
socio-cultural narratives of their societies.
