Abstract Details

2006, Bachelor of Arts, Miami University, College of Arts and Sciences - English.
The debate concerning women’s roles in society has been a longstanding one. Wilkie Collins, in his novels, takes part in this debate, struggling with whether or not women should have agency. By giving women a medium of self-expression, namely writing, Wilkie Collins continually creates strong women only to defeat them and turn them into domesticated women once again. But for at least a time these women can create their own identity, manipulate men, and control the story, giving them a power that cannot be forgotten.
