Theresearch sought to dissect and explore visual pleasure in literary work and its central positioning. Using Laura Mulvey’stheory of male gaze and visual pleasure, and feminist literary studies, it employed content analysis as a method to uncover the phrases and paragraphs depicting visual pleasure in the novella.
