Abstract: | This research deliberates on the representation of women in Chekhov's short stories. Chekhov subverts the stereotypical patriarchal image and role of women and represents them as bold, courageous, capable, resistant, assertive, revolutionary and hard women. Chekhovian women participate in social and political affair; they are bold and courageous characters who resist the patriarchal and religious norms and values with their revolutionary thought. They are guided by the sense of self-decision, self-choice, self-satisfaction and self-identity and they act accordingly. They neither constrain themselves within male drawn boundaries nor spend their life only taking care of husband, children, family, and sewing and cooking submissively and passively. |
