Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, University of Geneva (Faculté de lettres), language: English, abstract: When reading Margaret Atwood¿s works, one could easily feel disturbed by her presentation of certain male characters. After discussing Atwood¿s feminism and summing up Atwood¿s views on male characters, this essay will look at male characters in her works.
