To that end, this thesis does not only focus on the protest that lack begets, the triumph in creating new places of liberation from acts of destruction, and the existential knowledge that murdering female social monsters contribute to our understanding of freedom and resistance. It also provides a thorough explication of Woman at Point Zero by Nawal el Saadawi to compliment its epistemology of the monster. Thomas Gieryn, Belinda Morrissey, and Jean-Jaques Rousseau are just some of the important thinkers whom this paper references. | Subject | : | Philosophy, religion and theology; Social sciences; Language, literature and linguistics; Egypt; Sa'dawi, Nawal; Modern literature; Middle Eastern literature; African literature; Philosophy; Womens studies; 0453:Womens studies; 0422:Philosophy; 0316:African literature; 0315:Middle Eastern literature; 0298:Modern literature | Added Entry | : | I.
