Abstract
In the interwar years of the twentieth century, the emancipation of women and the fight for women‟s rights became more prominent. The arrival of New Woman shook the society and introduced changes that helped shape the modern woman we know today. Women were no longer required to have a man‟s presence in all aspects of their lives – they could acquire jobs and have their own financial freedom and independence. Although they were allowed to vote, many of them still did not use that right since... More they were not briefed on politics. The 1920s were marked in history as the Roaring Twenties and the era of flapper girls, lavish parties, and more sexual freedom which was a result of introducing birth control pills to the public. Similarly, the literature of the time progressed with said changes and so the works of D. H. Lawrence and Edith Wharton came to be. This thesis analyses Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928) and The Age of Innocence (1921) based on their shared themes of sexuality, gender roles, and relationships. Both novels deal with main characters who are unhappy in their marriages and commit adultery in a society that appreciates innocence and purity highly above everything else. The former being from a woman‟s perspective while being written by a man and the latter is from a man‟s perspective while being written by a woman. Less
Abstract (croatian)
U međuratnim godinama dvadesetog stoljeća emancipacija žena i borba za ženska prava dolazi do izražaja. Dolazak Nove žene uzdrmao je društvo i unio promjene koje su pomogle oblikovati modernu ženu kakvu danas poznajemo. Ženama više nije bila potrebna prisutnost muškaraca u svim aspektima života – mogle su se samostalno zaposliti i imati vlastitu financijsku slobodu i neovisnost. Iako im je omogućeno glasovanje, mnoge od njih to pravo ipak nisu iskoristile jer nisu bile upućene u politiku.... More Dvadesete godine prošlog stoljeća u povijesti su zabilježene kao Lude dvadesete i doba lepršavih djevojaka, raskošnih zabava i više seksualne slobode, što je posljedica uvođenja kontracepcijskih pilula. Slično tome, književnost tog vremena napredovala je u skladu s navedenim promjenama i tako su nastala djela D. H. Lawrencea i Edith Wharton. Ovaj rad analizira Ljubavnika Lady Chatterley (1928.) i Doba nevinosti (1921.) na temelju njihovih zajedničkih tema seksualnosti, rodnih uloga i međuljudskih odnosa. Oba romana bave se glavnim likovima koji su nesretni u svojim brakovima i čine preljub u društvu koje visoko cijeni nevinost i čistoću prije svega. Prvi je iz ženske perspektive kojeg je napisao muškarac, a drugi iz muške perspektive kojeg je napisala žena. Less
