The abolition of patriarchy in the work of Jane Austen and its representation in film adaptations
Downloads
Abstract
The influence of Jane Austen’s novels goes beyond literature,
reaching a support that she didn’t even come to know: the
film. In her novels, Austen introduces pioneering feminist
ideas making son that make one of the first women who tried
to change the habits and customs of her peers. This work
examines the vindication of female independence and the
abolition of patriarchy in her novels and in six film
adaptations. To do this, studies how Austen eliminates
patriarchy because it is not good for the emancipation of
women and how adaptations of her work represent heroines
far away from parental authority and submission.
