Abstract

The mistress’s coyness and her passivity in the face of the lover’s onslaught on her autonomy and privacy comprise an act of resistance to a hedonistic patriarchy bent on devouring the female to achieve its narcissistic goal of attaining pleasure and eternity.

Abstract

"Utangaç Sevgilisine", çoğul anlamların sınırsızlığını öne süren Postmodern görüşün güçlü bir
tanığıdır. Erkeğin kadının bağımsızlığı ve mahremiyetine yaptığı saldırıya, kadının utangaçlık ve
edilgenlikle karşılık vermesi, erkek egemen zevk düşkünlüğünün kadına boyun eğdirerek bencil zevk
ve ölümsüzlük isteklerini karşılama hedefine direnme eylemini de içermektedir.
17. Yüzyıl İngiltere'sinin erkek egemenliğinin çelişkilerini gösteren Marvel, Dryden ve John Donne
gibi, toplumun ikiyüzlülüğünü incelikle eleştirirken, baştan çıkarılan kadının utangaçlığı ve sessizliğini
savunur.
