Essentialism: Women are not equal to men because they have different body from men's. Differen brains that are weak. It's women's nature. "Because of essential bodily differences" #Essencialist sexist#
Romandaki kadın figürlerin bir kaç önemli karakter özellikleri:
-Biddy has her own job. Strong. Choices.
-Estella is beautiful, desired by everybody but she has nothing on her own. She's doing what she is said. Like a robot.
-Molly is a murderer, strong (physically). She is a scary, violent woman. She is unnatural, "essential" - Contrast to every stereotype-
-Miss Havisham is very passive.
-Mrs Joe like Molly is strong, physically. In the novel they punished: Jaggers threats Molly and Mrs Joe was attacked.
-Clara has no mother and horrible father. Abused young lady.
-Miss Skiffins everyday visits Aged Parent. Functional female.
Miss Havisham vs Molly
Both mothers (step-biological)
Both strong (socially-physically)
Both have connection with Magwitch (Compeyson-husband)
