Men and women have different life experiences, the writings of male and female authors will also be different. Some people believe that male authors are not capable of writing accurately from a female perspective or presenting feminist ideals because they have not lived life as a woman. When writing about women, authors may portray them differently depending on gender and culture. But there are cases where male authors can illustrate women representing the feminine stereotype. To explore these questions, I studied the representation of women in four novels: two novels by male writers, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway, and two novels by female writers, Kate Chopin and Sandra Cisneros. In the novels of Henry James, female characters focus their attention on an idea that they believe they could understand or realize if only they could devote their intellectual capacities to it with adequate understanding or tolerance. Much of Daisy Miller's plot hinges on the narrator's efforts to understand the enigma of other people's lives, determine how well the female characters understand their own destinies, and decide how much he should refuse to pass judgment on them and on himself. James wrote to Daisy Miller after hearing how some European socialites were speaking out with dislike about the behaviors, lack of culture, and lack of social status of people who had recently acquired wealth and were trying to make contact with rich people. aristocracies. The short story compares the rigid social laws of Europe and the independent, eccentric spirit of a young American woman. Daisy Miller is considered a typical American woman. James used this story to convey a message about how society perceives an individual who comes from els... middle of paper ...... riarchal societies and by creating positive female characters. In James' novel Daisy Miller, the character focused her attention on an idea that she thought she could understand or realize if only she could devote her mind or intellectual faculties to it with sufficient understanding or patience. Chopin wasn't afraid to suggest women wanted something they weren't normally allowed to have, like autonomy. Hemingway describes a woman who completely loves a man and this love and respect she has made her a stereotypical woman. Cisneros illustrated Cleofila as unhappy and her passive acceptance of suffering out of love that she learns as she grows up makes her particularly vulnerable to her abusive husband. Finally, throughout my research, I kept in mind that gender is socially constructed. It represents accepted ideas about what it means to be a woman.
