This thesis aims to examine what causes women’s oppression and the Taiwanese and Korean oppression originated by patriarchy and imperialism through the study and analysis of The Asian Orphan and Dictee. In these two novels, the writers present how patriarchy and imperialism assigned roles of women and the Taiwanese and Korean, especially under the period of the Japanese occupation. In The Asian Orphan and Dictee, the Japanese invaded Korea and Taiwan and that invasion symbolized the invasion of male dominance and imperial exploitation. Through the discourses of Post-Colonial feminists, Eco-feminists and other feminists, such as Gayatri Chakrovatory Spivak, Helene Cixous, Luce Irigaray, Chandra Talpade Mohanty, Michele Barrett, Joanna Macy etc, they provide more discussion about men’s dictatorship in their family, job field, violence, the relationship between nature and women etc and the unequal relationship between the colonizer and the colonized which is like the relationship between master and slaves.
Chapter I-Introduction mentions the causes for women’s oppression; the Taiwanese and the Korean oppression, which will be examined from the Post-Colonial feminists’, Eco-feminists’ and other relevant feminists’ points of view through the analysis of two novels, The Asian Orphan and Dictee. Chapter Two depicts the roles of women and their power by comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences among the main characters such as A-Char, A-Yuh, A-Shin’s wife, Theresa’s mother and Mrs. Martin etc, of these two novels. Chapter Three describes inequality between men and women in the job field. (For example, women can be conductresses, secretaries and waitresses etc whose jobs are categorized as skilled job field; men usually can be managers, lawyers, doctors and school principals etc whose jobs are categorized as non-skilled job field. Not only men’s pay is higher but also men have more chances to get promoted. Besides, men do not do their domestic work after a day’s work.) Chapter Four displays women’s suffering sexual oppression practiced by men, which includes rape, prostituting and pornography. (Because it was the period of the Japanese invasion, many women were raped by force. Pornography uses obscene pictures or verbal descriptions to demonstrate women’s bodies which are treated as sexual objects to entertain men’s imagination and arouse men’s action to satisfy their sexual excitement.) Chapter Five is a discussion about the breakdown of the harmonious relationship between nature and women, and the breakdown symbolizes men’s dominating women. (Wars often not only destroy the beauty of nature but also destroy women for ‘Nature is Mother’. Men take whatever they like to take, though nature is immensely abundant. Yet someday men will be devoured by nature as some kind of revenge practiced by nature.) Chapter Six concludes that violence and hostility can never last long. No matter what kind of invasion it is, such as the invasion of the colonizer against the colonized; the dominant against the subordinate; master against slaves etc, finally it will not last long though it was seemingly successful at first. There will be a possible appearance of a new kind of relationship that will require the equality between men and women; the colonizer and the colonozied; the exploiter and the exploited etc.
