|a Based on the feminist idea of objectification, the present paper compares Lebanese novelist Hanan Al-Shaykhs The Story of Zahra (1980) and American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby (1925), seeking to add a new dimension to the extant studies that have examined feminist ideas in the two texts. Although they belong to two different historical and ideological contexts, these two novels represent similar perspectives on the social dynamics of male-female relationships and address the same feminist paradigm, particularly in so far as the issues of objectification are concerned. The paper explores the ways of objectifying women in the two novels, proving that Middle Eastern and Western cultures are two sites where different levels and forms of objectification widely circulate. It also argues that what seems to be a process of liberation in the two novels turns out to be a mere act of subjugation for woman because it is based merely on woman's sexual subversion. As the paper shows, sexual liberation, in which woman becomes a mere exploited body, represents a failure of woman's quest for freedom and asserts the futility of her attempts to sever all ties with her status as an object.
