Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes how Hayat, the main character in Mahi Binebine's novel Rue du Pardon, is the victim of all kinds of oppression. We propose first to analyze how Hayat endures the oppression of the father figure, the absence of a constructive mother figure and the coercion of a morbid space preventing any possible fulfillment for this child. Next, we'll look at this character's journey towards resilience and a future outside the norm, one of transgression and confrontation. Finally, we will discuss how the female subject demonstrates agency (Butler, 2006: 218) by investing in the terrain of popular song.
