Marge Piercy’s Barbie Doll

Marge Piercy 's Barbie is looking at the impact of society on women' s expectations. Like a girl described in "Barbie", a woman must be perfect. She should know how to cook and clean, but most importantly, it is attractive according to the impossible stereotype of feminine beauty. Many women in today's society are compared to unreal life and doll shapes. Over the years, this doll has changed from a popular toy to a real women's role model. The extreme situation that women play this role model is related to this brief but true poetry.

This poem is a response to Marge Piercy's "Barbie", which depicts a growing girl who has never been accepted. She struggled with the structure of society. She did not commit suicide in this poem, she was just undergoing plastic surgery. The coffin is the operating table and the organizer is her surgeon. In this poem, the character can not accept her appearance and has treated it for so long. Please try everything to change yourself. When nothing goes wrong, she will shape herself into a society that seems perfect.

Barbie is a model woman? The generation has played this doll for a long time and many people want to be like her: party girls, professional women and beauty queen are all integrated. In the poem entitled "Barbie" by Marge Piercy, the title tells the theme of that poem. In other words, girls are caught by the definition of behavior and beauty of women in the narrow sense of society after all. When Pierce compares women in poetry with Barbie, she revealed the irony of the title.

In Barbie's verse, the author Marge Piercy believes that American Barbie is usually a "perfect" woman. This makes people laugh for appearance reasons, expecting Barbie-like images. This doll symbolizes what a woman should be and what he is fighting for. Barbie makes me misunderstand the children when I was young, I feel pressure to act by looking at this unrealistic image. When thinking about the word Barbie, people often think about her unrealistic figure - plump waist, thin thighs, long legs - though less than 2% of American women want to reach this level It is. Does not everyone want to be all this? As we grow we recognize that it is unrealistic and unachievable, but as a child and as a young adult it may make girls around the world mislead.
