Admin User
Abstract
The title of this essay is "the Portrayal of Gender Bodies in Jorge Amado." It has the principal objective of evaluating the representation of the female main character and her interrelationships and involvement with the male characters in the novel Dona Flor e os Seus Dois Maridos. Through textual analysis and aspects of feminism theory (Gender binary system and identity), attention will be focussed on how Jorge Amado, contrary to the views of some critics and scholars who considered him a misogynist, highlighted and emphasised the roles and condition of being a woman not as submissive but as a stakeholder in her self-determination and realisation.
