The Red Queen

This paper is an investigation how cultural perception could be embedded in language and literature and how this helps different analyses on a same historical event. The article includes the comparison between a work of classical Korean literature, Hanjungnok (한중록), and an English-translated version of it, The Memoirs of Lady Hyekyŏng, translated by Kim-Haboush, and a work of a British novel, The Red Queen, written by Margaret Drabble. The comparison is to explore the language use regarding a perception of family relations and of gender in each version of writing. This paper concludes that authors’ and audience’s language and cultural background would influence on perceiving and analysing literature and its context so that each interpretation could be differentiated, even with the actual historical event.

Climate Fiction

This paper examines how contemporary works of fiction and nonfiction reflect on anticipated cases of climate dislocation. Building on existing research about migrant agency, climate fiction, and human rights, it traces the contours of climate migration discourse before analyzing how three twenty-first-century novels enable us to reimagine the “great displacement” beyond simplistic militarized and humanitarian frames. Zooming in on stories by Mohsin Hamid, John Lanchester, and Margaret Drabble that envision hypothetical calamities while responding to present-day refugee “crises”, this paper explains how these texts interrogate apocalyptic narratives by demilitarizing borderscapes, exploring survivalist mindsets, and interrogating shallow appeals to empathy.

Living Circumstances

The article focuses on the feminist interpretation of the women images in A Summer Bird-Cage by British female writer Margaret Drabble. Drabble shows special concern for women’, especially intellectual women’s fate and living circumstances in the patriarchal society. Based on the feminism and historical and social background of feminist movements, the article analyzes intellectual young women’s struggle to control the fates of their own in terms of marriage and love, cause and family as well as the economic independence and spiritual independence. Through the life experience of women characters, Drabble exposes females’ predicament and dilemma in reality. It is truly hard for women to fulfill the social and domestic duties imposed on them. It is not wise for women to give up their own cause for the sake of family, while the society doesn’t make it easy for them to stave off marriage and live on their own. To be independent, therefore, is a prevailing slogan for feminists but an everlasting question for women to find feasible solutions.
