Body and Visibility in Jane Smiley's A Thousand Acres

The western thousand acre body and sight adhere to the individual identity of the object. The name is known; knowing is a control.

Mention of Paglia above refers not only to epistemology or ontology ("This is what we are seeing and therefore exists"), but also a specific power relationship in the social system built on the basis of Apollonius rule It is also suitable for describing. .

In Jane Smiley's "Thousand Acres", the main concern is one of family relationships with family. Smiley seems to be a typical American farmer at first, but it will be revealed soon. Her message is clear (as it stole it from Shakespeare); love is inherently unmeasurable, trying to do only leads to disasters. But the smile brings new change to the love brought about by the test of love. It is a mixture of complex of Oedipus "Respect your mother and your father", not real love, but men and women's love, love will appear. You can not transfer this love to other kinds of love, love of your father or daughter. Smiley novels are developed around the result of confusion of desire and love and the influence of wife's love on daughter's love.

Jane Smythe's "Thousand Mu" comes from the story of Lear King. He talks about his own dark story and tells a corrupt patriarchal society that functions by hiding. This is a story that tries to manipulate each other through the secret the character has and then attempts to identify them. Smiley shows that in this patriarchal society, women who depend on me emotionally also decrease, while women who break economic and emotional chains grow like women and humans It is. Smiley reviewed the concept as the hero of Lear and created a more feminist approach. She knew that the play was inconsistent with the role of Goneril and Regan and they lacked consistent reasons for their father's malignant reaction.
