I've just finished reading Jean Rhys' Good Morning, Midnight and i'm finding it incredibly interesting especially in the context of this class. The main character has undergone many internal battles that directly replicate what we've discussed as instances of patriarchal dominance. I found one quote towards the end of the book particularly interesting," The corners of his mouth go down when he says 'femme' (Hatred or fear?) Les femmes - he doesn't trust them, they are capable of anything."(Rhys 138) I feel as though we haven't really addressed this issue since the first day of class when we discussed the 'general aversion' to feminism. I suppose it's hard to 'put feelings into other peoples heads', however I wonder what most of our theorists/feminists would say when asked where they think that patriarchal dominance comes from: hatred or fear or both? Or maybe neither?
