ECOFEMINISM AND SYMBOLIC MOTHER EARTH IN MARGARET ATWOOD’S NOVEL BODILY WOUND

Summary/Abstract: By relying on the theoretical views of Dragana Popović, this paper analyses the aspects of ecofeminism in Margaret Atwood’s novel Bodily Wound. Patriarchal system, imperial capitalism and neglecting and contaminating nature – literally and figuratively, that is to say, “triple marginalization”, which Popović explores, is shown throughout the text in diffrent ways. Subordinating and stereotyping of women are in evidence from the very beginning of the novel. Rennie’s illness indicates that a normal functioning of “the body” has been destabilized in a literal and metaphorical sense – as mother “the nurturer” and Mother Earth, who are becoming crippled and fragmented. Rennie’s visit to the Caribbean islands reveals the ways in which capitalistic countries control the third world countries.
