Özet

Bu makale, Amy Levy'nin “Xantippe” ve Augusta Webster'ın “Faded” adlı şiirlerinde kadın kimliğini oluşturmada dramatik monolog kullanımını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, biçim geleneğinde önemli bir yere sahip olan kadın şairlerin monologlarına odaklanarak dramatik monoloğun genel kavramsallığını karmaşıklaştırmayı ve Viktorya dönemi kadın şairlerinin dramatik monologdan yararlanarak kadın kimliğini oluşturmalarını ön plana çıkarmayı amaçlayan iki katmanlı bir çalışmadır. Şiir analizleri, kadın şairlerden Augusta Webster ve Amy Levy'nin, kadınları Viktorya dönemi kadın ideal imajına hapseden Viktorya kadın kimliğine meydan okuduklarını ve Viktorya dönemi cinsiyet normlarını ihlal ederek erkek kimliğinden bağımsız kadın kimliğini yansıttıklarını göstermektedir. Mitolojik eşten yaşlı evlenmemiş kadına kadar farklı kesimden kadın karakterlerini barındıran dramatik monologları sayesinde, Webster ve Levy toplumun kadını algılayışını ve kadından beklentilerini sorgular, protesto eder ve eleştirirler. Böylelikle, kadın kimliğini oluşturmanın bir yolu olarak Webster ve Levy’nin dramatic monologların analizi sosyal baskı altındaki kadınların dünyalarını da keşfetmemizi sağlar. Ayrıca, kadının yeni imajını örneklendirirken, Viktorya döneminde baskı altına alınmış tüm kadınların ortak sorununa eğilmektedirler.
