I have decided that I will read the novel Beloved by Toni Morrison through a feminist lens. The feminist lens explores women through their roles in society, how they are portrayed, and their behavior. Usually women do not have a big role and are usually left in the shadows because their opinion doesn't matter to men. This really upsets me because I am a woman going into the field of engineering and that is not something very common due to the fact that society was taught that engineering is a male profession. Gender equality has been a big controversy for a long time and people believe that there are jobs only for men and jobs only for women. Some even think that women don’t even deserve to work and their place is in the kitchen where they cook and clean and live the life of a stay-at-home mom. I am really excited to see what the daily life of a woman is in the novel Beloved. I hope this project allows me to read a novel and really analyze one aspect and interpretation of the book in order to get a deeper understanding of what I’m reading.
You are so true for saying that! It is so sad to see women being treated differently than men. Unfortunately, we live in a bubble where this is not noticed as much, but in much of the world it is still so prevalent.
