Résumé

récupéré en direct d'OpenAlex

Margaret Laurence is a prolific and distinguished novelist hailing from Canada; she focuses on the predicaments of women and tries to give an identity to the Canadian women. The theme of survival occupies a pivotal place in the novels of Margaret Laurence who hails from Scots-Irish background of stern values and hard work and Puritanism. The theme of survival came up during the drought and depression of the 1930s and then the war. Dedication to social reform is the prime quality of Laurence. A Jest of God is one of the Manawaka novels. In A Jest of God, survival and freedom are predominant themes. Laurence portrays the horrible conditions of women in the process of struggle for survival in the mid-20th century in Canada. Akin to the theme of other Manawaka novels of Laurence, the same theme of survival continues to be central in A Jest of God which attempts to present the person's determination to survive with some dignity that everyone carries until the end of life.Margaret Laurence is a major Canadian novelist who has created her Manawaka world with gigantic complexity, reaching out from her own place and time through four generations of men and women in Canadian western town. Neepawa has, indeed, a great impact on Laurence's writings. Laurence says that Neepawa and its Scots-Presbyterian pioneers, Scotland, represent her real past. My true roots were here(Laurence, 1976).Neepawa, no doubt, supplied 'elements' of Manawaka but this town of her imagination, her own private worlds, is not so much any one prairie town as an amalgam of many prairie towns.Theme of survival is almost an inseparable theme for a writer who comes from a Scots-Irish background of stern values and hard work and Puritanism. The theme of survival is dominant during the drought and depression of the 1930s and then the war. The most distinguished quality of Laurence is her early dedication to social reform and the continued basic social awareness that is part of the foundation of her works.A Jest of God is one of the novels in the cycle of Manawaka. The novel presents questions that are central to the problems of women, the presentation of female subjectivity, about women's relation to their cultural inheritance and whether the autobiographical form which has become the staple of women's fiction can be made sufficiently expansive to contain wider social and political issues beyond personal self-scrutiny. The narrative of Rachel Cameron is inner-space A Jest of God, similar to the other Manawaka novels, is set in Manawaka. The story of woman's life is radically different from traditional patterns. The novel reveals Laurence's work that is within the tradition of realistic fiction. At the end of the narrative, Rachel, an unmarried schoolteacher, still cares for her mother. She is shackled to the social etiquette of silence and on many occasions, she feels very embarrassed when she transgressed those rules. The narrative is double-voiced, full of daydreams and nightmares, with her reconciliation with the ordered surface of these women's daily lives, only disrupted by her silent discourse of resistance through fantasies. The interior monologue of the narrative within Rachel is structured as direct imaginative response to her social situations.The central theme of A Jest of God is survival, very like the theme of The Stone Angel. The same theme of survival continues to be pivotal in A Jest of God that attempts to present the will of the person to survive with some dignity, an attribute which everyone carries until the end of life. Besides the theme of survival, the incompleteness of human relationship resulted in isolation. The injustice in human relationships, human alienation, personal identity and the pathetic situation of female under the tyranny of male domination perpetrated isolation.The theme of isolation can be elaborated and examined to a great extent in A Jest of God, since, 'death' isolates and 'love' is an attempt to cross the barriers of isolation. …

Imitation des enseignants

Ni prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
