dc.description.abstractThis thesis seeks to explore Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel, “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo”, more precisely the character of Evelyn Hugo, by exploring her journey from underprivileged background to stardom and the difficulties that accompanied her experiences in the film industry. By placing Hugo’s life story in the context of the new Hollywood era, marked by changing power dynamics and cultural transformations, the analysis highlights the pervasive influence of patriarchal norms and beauty standards on women in the public sphere. Central to this analysis is the exploration of feminist themes embedded in Hugo’s narrative arc, who is is presented as a symbol of female agency and resilience, challenging traditional gender roles and social expectations through her quest for agency. In addition, it examines the portrayal of Hugo as a flawed but resilient figure whose actions and decisions are shaped by the constraints of her environment and the relentless pursuit of her ambitions. Through a synthesis of literary analysis, feminist discussion and historical context, this thesis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” and offers a reflection on the enduring relevance of feminist discourse in contemporary society. By exploring the intersection of fame, race and gender, the thesis also explores the ongoing struggle for gender equality and reflects on the importance of diverse representation in Hollywood.
