THE IMAGE OF WOMAN IN NGUYEN NGOC TU’S NOVEL, RIVER IN ECOFEMINISM POINT
Main Article Content
Abstract
The ecofeminism has been since 1974 with the aim of discussing the relationship between ecology and feminism. It seems to open up the perspective of approaching literary works in a complex view. As a contemporary writer attached to the Mekong Delta, in her writings, Nguyen Ngoc Tu seems to have recreated the image of the Mekong Delta woman with environmental change as a crossing issue from the Immensity Field, the Splendid Sky Smoke to the River. On that basis, the article discusses how to portray the image of a woman in her novel, River, from ecofeminism point with the following basic contents: 1) The woman and the ecological environment sympathy and reciprocity; 2) The woman and the breakage of the environment; 3) The woman with the journey to leave as the search for a new life and 4) The women with evocative awareness of
protective environmen.
