Social Justice/Ihara Saikaku & Nawal El Saadawi
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares two short stories, Ihara Saikaku's "Barrelmaker Brimful of Love" and Nawal El Saadawi's "In Camera." Saikaku's story is set in seventeenth century Japan and El Saadawi's narrative is set in twentieth century Egypt, yet both authors relate their particular society's perspective on social justice, in regards to women's place in society. In so doing, these stories demonstrate that the position of women in each of these societies is similar despite the differences in time and locale. In each story, women are pictured as secondary to the main thrust of societal interest. In both stories, one sees an emphasis of the power of male authority and the importance to these cultures that women remain subjugated and controlled. No bibliography is offered.
