Abstrakt:
This thesis deals with feminist issues found in the novels The Life and Loves of a She Devil and Remember Me written by a significant British author Fay Weldon. It compares these issues and analyzes them according the main characters of both novels. Ruth Patchett, the main character of Weldon's drama novel The Life and Loves of a She Devil, oppressed by her husband and the family realized the injustice which they caused her, began to act sharply, and stroke back at her husband and his mistress. She continued harassing them until she reached her goals. Similarly the next novel Remember Me is represented by women figures in the main role plays. For instance, Margot Jarvis, one of the main characters of the novel, was left by her husband. Due to her despair and loss, she took hopeless and embarrassing steps in effort to take revenge on her husband and his new wife, and only after her death she reached appreciation. The books were written in the 1970s and 1980s. Both novels mirror the traditional conception of women in society in contrast with the consciousness raising of women beginning around 1960s and 1970s.
