The main focus of this study is the analysis of the main character in Roddy Doyle's The Woman Who Walked into Doors (1997) and the sequel Paula Spencer (2006). This study will analyze the perception of domestic violence from the main character's point of view, and other issues concerning women such as their position in the society and family. This study will also look deeply in the way the author himself depicts the perception of domestic violence through the character and narration of Paula Spencer. Roddy Doyle is a contemporary Irish writer, and works as a full time writer. He worked as a teacher of Geography and English for fifteen years. He won the Booker Prize in 1993 for Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha. In his writings Doyle describes problems that could be part of any family and in any place of the world. Despite this, his work is almost always located specifically in the city of Dublin, Ireland, particularly among the disadvantaged or poor of Dublin. He also writes about poverty, violence, unemployment, marriage, family life and describes the working class families and their struggles to change the situation they are facing. He presents real life situations, and shows them as they really are, he also uses slang and profanity, and presents characters whose lives are tough and with no easy way out. But, he leaves us with the impression that the strong will survives, and that the good intention and the beauty of the good things survives which makes his characters triumph. The novels of our research deal with most of these themes. In The Woman Who Walked into Doors, the author discusses a working class family, which lives in poverty, with an abusive father and an alcoholic mother. | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19895 |
