Abstract
This thesis is focused on investigating the concepts of sex, gender and class and their occurrences and representations in the Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Alias Grace. Sex and gender are sociological concepts where sex is interpreted as a biological feature, while gender is a notion understood as being socially constructed. The third concept surveyed in the thesis is class, which alongside gender is also socially constructed and their manifestation can be observed from people’s appearances and repeated performances. Albeit the presented societies in both books belong to different periods, both of them are patriarchal and due to that reason that is the 4th explained concept in this thesis. Margaret Atwood uses these concepts in the presented two literary works as a critique toward current societal issues such as class inequalities and the dominance of men over women.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad se bazira na istraživanju pojmova spola, roda i staleža te njihovog pojavljivanja i prikazivanja u djelima Sluškinjina priča i Alias Grace koje je napisala Margaret Atwood. Rod i spol su sociološki pojmovi gdje se pod spol predstavlja biološke osobine, dok je rod pojam koji je društveno stvoren. Treći pojam kojeg ova teza istražuje je stalež, koja je uz pojam roda također društveno stvoreno te se manifestacija ova dva pojma očituje kroz izgled društva te ponavljanja ponašanja. Premda predstavljena društva u obje knjige pripadaju različitom vremenskom periodu, obje knjige prikazuju patrijarhalna društva te je zbog toga to i četvrti pojam objašnjen u ovom diplomskom radu. Margaret Atwood koristi te pojmove u predstavljena dva književna djela kao kritiku usmjerenu prema trenutnim društvenim problemima poput staležne nejednakosti i dominacije muškaraca nad ženama.
