Abstract

Mokeddem's The Forbidden Woman novel is a story that describes misogyny in Algeria. The role of Sultana as an Algerian woman who hates her identity, and Vincent, a Frenchman who gets a kidney donation from Algerian women, may have been deliberately displayed by Mokeddem as a metaphor for relationship between Algeria and France. However, the intrigue and events in the storyline of Sultana and Vincent illustrate many things about the mentality of Algerians in politics, economics, culture and education. The arrival of Sultana in Algeria brought her to her past which she wanted to forget, and indeed that was the price she had to pay when she decided to look back.
