Focusing closely on two texts, explore the role of women or the feminine. Are they the audience of the text or its subject? Are they characters within it? What is the relationship between the speaker (male or female) and female figures in the texts, and what is at stake in these relationships? How do female writers respond to the construction of women in these works? In their work, do they offer a different model of gender difference or merely recapitulate (by inverting) the male model? What is at stake in the difference (if there is a difference) they offer? Please use specific examples when discussing the issues in these texts.
