Elfriede Jelinek won the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature. However, she is a controversial Austrian authoress. She accepts severe criticism because of bold sexual depiction and fierce politics criticism in her works, however, she has gained a lot of literal awards at the same time,demonstrating Elfriede Jelinek herself and the depth of her works. She always shows deep solicitude for the female's destiny and their survival state. Most works take the Female as the subject, bringing out various oppression that the Female have suffered and showing the Female's all kinds of tragedy.The thesis chooses three works that Elfriede Jelinek wrote in different periods, discussing the tragic causes of the Female, the Female's thought and their survival state, analysing the connection and difference among the three works, and expounding the changes that the authoress thinks deeply about the female problems.Women as Lover analyses the feminine love and the destiny from the aspects of the capitalism, economic system and patriarchy, and also analyses the female close destiny during the past thousands of years by means of the narrative structure.Die Klavierspielerin attempts to describe the tragic origin of the heroine during the absence of the male from words, power , resistance of lust, and so forth with the theories of Foucault.Death and Daid reveals the modern female's inward contradiction by the soliloquy or dialogue, analysing the Female's subconscious thoughts.Three works set forth female politics utterance from the female body, and seek the causes of the female tragedy and the present situation from the outer to the inner. Meanwhile, there're more and more female figures and the change of the singular and plural narrative points of view, which is a transformation from the individual description to the collective description.
