An Investigation of Pirandello’s “Six Characters in Search of an Author”: A Feminist Perspective

Abstract

The present qualitative investigation of Luigi Pirandello`s play ―Six Characters in Search of an Author‖ aims at revealing the basic issues of ladies in the play; how the female characters subjugated are by the male and how the female figure tries to prove her strength. The play demonstrates the genuine photo of the time how the male carries on with the women. Luigi Pirandello tosses light on the intense reality of his age that male strata of society disregard ladies. Through the character of the mother, he demonstrates that when male individuals from their family are not ready to satisfy their fundamental rights they toss them out in some other individual's arms. The data was analysed using Nussbaum's Objectification Theory of Feminism. The findings of the study uncovered that ladies suffer at the hands of men to an awesome degree. They utilize them in negative routes and ladies are behaved as a smothered animals, whores, rubbish and negative creatures. The character of the progression girl makes it completely clear that the little girl has become the victim of her licentious father.
