The Grapes of Wrath receives much concern since it has been published, and the scholars mainly focus on this novel’s descriptive methods and structural features。 This thesis analyzes this novel from the perspective of ecofeminism。 It emphatically and profoundly analyzes two women—Ma Joad and Rose of Sharon。 They are like the great and selfless nature, and have a harmonious relationship with it; furthermore, these two women possess the features of “mother earth”, but they and nature are both oppressed。
This thesis interprets two outstanding female images from the perspective of ecofeminism and it also guides the readers to have a better appreciation of the novel。 It is hoped that this paper can arouse more students’ and scholars’ interest to carry on the study of the novel。
