This research paper studies the protagonist‘s quest for a real self, emancipation and dignity in Nawal El Saadawi,s Two Women in One. It investigates how El Saadawai depicts Bahiah and Saleen as revolutionary subjects who rebel against patriarchal gender rules and despotic authorities. But it mainly concentrates on Bahiah's constant quest for a real self, emancipation and dignity in a sexist edifice and underscores the impediments she encounters. It seeks to identify the events that contribute to the formation of her integrated self. An attempt is made to scrutinize Bahiahm,s quest for an authentic self, emancipation and dignity through exploring her resistance to the androcentric culture, her relationship with her family, her interaction with people of her age, her tense relation with her community, her bond with her boyfriend, Saleem, her understanding of love and sexuality, her perception of national freedom, her commitment to fight the despotic authorities, the alienation she suffers in the course of her journey and the role of narrative and introspection in texting the self. It shows the protagonist as an intrepid revolutionary fighter for freedom and equality. The study also casts light on El Saadawi,s views on the root causes of women‘s oppression. The article ends with asserting the success of the protagonist‘s journey towards the goal of constructing her real self, emancipation and dignity and the need to rethink the Islamic discourse to filter out the manmade patriarchal rules and the traditional norms that perpetuate women‘s oppression in an attempt to rectify the vicious treatment meted out to women in the androcentric Arab societies. It establishes the heroine and her creator as revolutionaries per excellence. |
