Abstract
The current thesis mainly discusses the act of revisiting mythology from a postmodern feminist approach, in selected poems of Hilda Doolittle, Louise Erdrich, and Eavan Boland. The three poets choose the rewriting of the ancient myths as their instrument in depicting women’s suffering since the narratives of mythology provide them with values and ethics from which people get their wisdom. The researcher applies postmodern features and feminist reading to the analysis of the selected poems.
Each of the three poets represents the suffering of a different category of women. H.D. represents the suffering of the ancient Grecian women, Louise Erdrich depicts the suffering of the Native American women, and Eavan Boland illustrates the suffering of the Irish women.They utilize the same instruments to shed light on women’s current disturbing issues from feminist perspectives.
This thesis is divided into three chapters preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first chapter justifies the theoretical framework of the study as it includes the definition of mythology and its types and functions as well as the relation between feminism and postmodernism. Chapter two and three provide the analysis of the poems by the three poets from postmodern feminist perspectives socially and religiously. The conclusion sums up the findings of the thesis.
