I have come to the conclusion that The Tiger Clawinvolves irony in it as a tool to ironize the patriarchal coercion and hegemony. Therefore, it deals with the irrelevanceof phallogocentrism and aims at displacing it by feminist ethos. It is a startling saga of a struggle of an ordinary woman against Nazism in the face of holocaust.The disjunction between her actions and the context creates irony which is political in natureby placing a seemingly radical twenty-first century's feminist Noor in Nazi-occupied France between the First and Second World War.en-USMale Violencepolitical ironyFeminist ethosThesis
