On The Writing Of Gender Relationship In McEwan's Fiction

McEwan's writing on the gender relationship is based on uncertainty.He blurs out the characters and plots in the novel to make the ending open.The author uses ironic rhetoric to show various contradictions in the text and does not comment.In this type of indeterminate text,readers can interpret more freely.Because the text does not have a clear and correct interpretation of meaning,readers need to mobilize their own ability meta-language in the process of interpretation.The change of the collection of meta-language makes the interpretation of the text appear complex aesthetic characteristics.McEwen's writing on the gender relationship began in this uncertainty and complex meaning.Using rhetorical rhetoric as an entry point for analyzing the relationship between the two sexes,it is possible to dig deeper into the various symptoms under the harmonious representation of contemporary men and women.McEwen demonstrates the contemporary social dissimilation of sexual relations in his works.Men are eager to blend in adult society through sexual behavior,but such behavior is often ineffective.The lack of emotion leads to a complete imbalance between the sexes that people become slaves of lust and descend to animals which obey their instincts.With the rise of the status of women,the relationship between the sexes has shifted from a dominant-dependent model to an equal-opposition model.Men are under pressure from the rise of women,so the sexual relations are sharply opposed and people of different genders even hate each other.The origin of dissimilation of gender relations lies in the differentiation of the subjects.At the text level,the misalignment of the meaning which caused by implicit author,narrator and character creates irony.In real life,people generally feel the dilemma of split between the inter-subject.In those who have lost the certainty of the subject,gender relations have become a breakthrough in seeking self.Some people are eager to strengthen their own gender identity through the opposite sex to find their own,while others may want to transform into an opposite sex to resist the anxiety caused by self-determinism.The existence of the self depends on the interrelationship between the inter-subject,however,people in contemporary society live in isolation.The tendency which the subject to express oneself and objectify others lead to the universalization of the separation between the inter-subject,and make people living in the anxiety caused by the split between the inter-subject.
