The Female Avenger: Violence, Absurdity, and Black Humour in Roald Dahl's Short stories
...Show More Authors

Roald Dhal's is a prominent British short story writer who presented a fictional world full of contradictions and ironies. It is also full of double meanings where things are not what they appear to be and where meaninglessness is a prominent component. Dahl's world is also colored with blackness and grotesqueness; full of comedy that makes you shiver instead of laugh and characters who invite a sneak peek into a different side, a dark side of human nature. Dahl's themes are various and gripping but usually revolve around the triangle that frames his fiction: violence, humour, and absurdity. What seems to be a prominent and recurrent theme that intersects with every element in this triangle is revenge. In one story after another Dahl presents models of avengers. His female avenger is an image of a woman who is fixated on her revenge and who succeeds in her deeds regardless of the means she uses to exact her revenge. The female avenger in Dahl's short stories is a character who is ruthless and cunning in carrying out revenge against the male character, yet her action is often unexpected and shocking. This paper will address three of Dahl's stories that illustrate clear examples of female avengers. The discussion of selected short stories of Dahl will elaborate on the positioning of the female avenger in the midst of his recipe of black humour, absurdity, and violence.

It is axiomatical that the narrative prospective is profoundly significant to the writer who intends to commence his sketch of projected novel. It is the pillar of comprehensive absorbing as the writer should commit himself to circular his own concepts to the reader of his narrative characters.                                

   The dilemma of plot-perception is a twofold aspect; partly offers the question: what is the authors stand in regard to his characters? And: what is the aim of this theme? These correlative questions are inseparable since the reader who wishes

دوگانه ای متضاد ( خیر ضد شر ) در شعر فارسی ( بر رسی انتقادی وتحلیلی )
...Show More Authors

The conflicting duality of goodness and evil has a psychological effect on the life of humans, the nature of human beings is originally goodness whereas the tendency of evil flows from the society, therefore the first who found a meaning of evil on earth is kabeel when he quarreled fiercly with his brother who carried in himself all the meanings of goodness and toierance.

 

    In this paper of mine we find that Robaayat Al khayam carries a poetic content of a special meaning in that every expression reflects semantic relationship (the good played a part in the formation lies with and the evil) of which its foundation lies with the human personality (soul), and he (the poet) a scribes it to matters of
