Abstract

In this essay, I want to analyze how maternal instinct is depicted in one short story which has South East Asia as a setting of place because this maternal instinct has became one of the most debatable issues in feminist study until nowadays. The main data is a short story entitled Broken. This short story was included in anthology of Asian short stories entitled A Rainbow Feast. One thing which becomes uniqueness in Broken that picks my interest is how this novel exploits woman acts and habits in different way than any other novel. VerenaTay through this novel tells a story about one particular woman and how she treats her newborn baby. Different with other novel, Broken pictures the woman who lives in different world than us, a human. It is interesting to see how VrenaTay pictures that woman acts and somehow lives after she was dead, how a woman escapes from subversive condition and move toward dominant one by leap through the limit of life and death.

Abstract

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is one of the most prominent example of ergodic literature and post-modern work that utilizes unconventional literary tools. Despite the thorough researchs regarding its metafictional nature and symbolic representations, however, there is still little amount of research that studies the novel from a feminist perspective. This study aims to fulfill that gap by examining the female characters in the novel using feminist theories such as Simone de Beauvoir's Other and Judith Butler's performativity. Findings show that House of Leaves depicts its female characters in contradictory ways, both as passive objects and active agents. In spite of these findings, critical analysis of the deliberation of the female characters' actions is still crucial. These instances becomes an example of how the novel shows a tension between its unconventional nature and gender politics. This study contributes to feminist literary critique by emphasizing the need to examine gender inequality even in experimental novels.
