  • Destruction of Patriarchal Society by Nu Shu in Snow Flower and Secret Fan
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 11, No. 1, pp. 92-96, January 2021 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/tpls.1101.11 Destruction of Patriarchal Society by Nu Shu in Snow Flower and Secret Fan Xingjie Du Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, Guangzhou, China Abstract—Lisa See’s Snow Flower and Secret Fan is set in Emperor Taoguang period-late Qing Dynasty that is featured by patriarchal society. One of typical features of the patriarchal society is that the male is the center of everything, while the female is in a disadvantaged position, which is clearly shown in the novel. However, Laotong–a kind of woman’s friendship in the novel can be regarded as a sort of female rebellion to the patriarchal society. They communicate with each other in a special way that men have no access to, which in a way wins more space for women in feudal society in which men always are in dominated position in terms of social status in family or society. The paper is going to discuss how this nu shu narrative destructs the patriarchal society and strives for more space for women, breaking the yoke of man’s gaze and power. Index Terms—Nu Shu, patriarchal society, destruction I. INTRODUCTION Lisa See is an American writer and novelist with a Chinese great-grandfather who has wielded great influence on her life and writing career. Some of her works mention cultural events emphasizing the importance of Los Angeles and Chinatown. As a foreigner who has a special connection with Chinese culture and history, she can write from outside and inner side.

  • Island of Sea Women (Discussion Questions)
    Island of Sea Women (Discussion Questions) 1. The story begins with Young-sook as an old woman, gathering algae on the beach. What secrets or clues about the past and the present are revealed in the scenes that take place in 2008? Why do we only understand the beginning of the novel only after we have finished it? 2. When Young-sook and Mi-ja are fifteen, Young-sook’s mother says to them: "You are like sisters, and I expect you to take care of each other today and every day as those tied by blood would do" (p. 13). How are these words of warning? The friendship between Young-sook and Mi-ja is just one of many examples of powerful female relationships in the novel. Discuss the ways in which female relationships are depicted and the important role they play on Jeju. 3. On page 17, Young-sook’s mother recites a traditional haenyeo aphorism: Every woman who enters the sea carries a coffin on her back. But she also says that the sea is like a mother (p. 22). Then, on page 71, Grandmother says, "The ocean is better than your natal mother. The sea is forever." How do these contradictory ideas play out in the novel? What do they say about the dangerous work of the haenyeo? 4. In many ways, the novel is about blame, guilt, and forgiveness. In the first full chapter, Yu-ri has her encounter with the octopus. What effect does this incident have on various characters moving forward: Mother, Young-sook, Mi-ja, Do-saeng, Gu-ja, Gu-sun, and Jun-bu? Young-sook is also involved in the tragic death of her mother.
