| dc.description.abstract | This study centers on Adrienne Cecile Rich’s selected poems and investigates the excessive use of mythical references. It further explores how the use of myth serve the poet’s own experiences of life and reflect her personal memories in the poems is my research objective for which I have used Roland Barthes and Northrop Frye’s ideas related to myths, to prove the research claim I have used Roland Barthes ''Mythology" and Northrop Frye's "Anatomy of Criticism" for theoretical support. This study exclusively focuses on analyzing Rich's selected poems “Diving into the Wreck”, “Living in Sin”, “Trying to talk with a Man”, “Snapshots of a Daughter in Law”, “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers” and “Planetarium” in terms of mythical reference. This study interprets these poems to approach towards the essence how she has implied the mythical references to show the reality of women in the context of patriarchal society. Implication of myth is purposeful in the aforementioned poems with the intention of making identification with real life situation but looking from the eyes of women wearing the glass of myth. | en_US |
