dc.description.abstractThis thesis presents a nuanced analysis of the representation of Black and white women in Richard Wright’s Native Son, using Black feminist theory as a critical framework. It explores how characters like Bessie, Mrs. Thomson, and Mary Dalton are shaped by intersecting forces of race, gender, and class and how their roles often reinforce prevailing stereotypes. The writer highlights the marginalization of female characters in Wright’s narrative while acknowledging moments of subtle resistance that reflect their humanity and agency. The discussion of Black feminist concepts like intersectionality and controlling images adds depth and scholarly relevance. Overall, the thesis is thorough, thoughtful, and grounded in strong theoretical insights, though at times the analysis might have benefited from tighter structure and conciseness. Nonetheless, it makes a valuable contribution to understanding gendered racial oppression in African American literature.
