Abstract

The image of women in the Family of Pascual Duarte by Camilo José Cela and the Casa Grande by Mohammed Dib

The title of this article is the image of the woman in The Family of Pascual Duarte by Camilo José Cela and the Big House of Mohammed Dib. It is a comparative study that analyzes the image of women in two works, one Spanish and the other Algerian, but each considers itself in its country as the first step of twentieth-century realism. Both Algerian and Spanish texts have a social character and let out a feminine voice that denounces oppression and at the same time plays an important role in teaching the girl humility and submission to the virility of the man since having undergone the male power in his youth of which he is the ideal reproducer.
This work aims to reveal this female character apparently placed in the position of the passive object is no less felt as a cunning, evil power. The seemingly victorious masculine, admits his relentlessness even against the other, the feminine, admits that he is threatened by an asymmetrical, irrational, cunning and uncontrollable power.
