Ženska seksualnost u odabranim romanima Edne O’brien, Emme Donoghue i Emer Martin

This diploma paper sets out to explore representations of female sexuality in The Country Girls Trilogy by Edna O’Brien, Hood by Emma Donoghue and Emer Martin’s More Bread or I’ll Appear. The gradual development of subversiveness and obscenity is rather evident in the representation of the heroines who constantly provoke and dispute Irish and Catholic moral values. Female characters both in the sixties and in the nineties demonstrate that Irish female identity cannot be defined by the passive embodiments of Marian virtues. Owing to the help of Edna O’Brien’s trilogy, a voice was given to submitted Irish woman who have set the path to Donoghue’s and Martin’s more defiant and bold protagonists.Cilj ovog diplomskog rada jest istražiti način na koji je ženska seksualnost predstavljena u The Country Girls Trilogy Edne O’ Brien, romanu Hood Emme Donoghue i romanu More Bread or I’ll Appear Emer Martin. Postupan razvoj subverzivnosti i opscenosti je prilično očit u predstavljanju heroina koje konstantno provociraju i osporavaju irske i katoličke moralne vrijednosti. Ženski likovi u šezdesetima, kao i u devedesetima, pokazuju da se irski ženski identitet ne može definirati uz pomoć pasivnog utjelovljenja marijanskih vrlina. Zahvaljujući trilogiji Edne O’Brien podložne irske žene su dobile pravo glasa i tako utabale put prkosnijim i smionijim protagonistima u romanima Emme Donoghue i Emer Martin
