Nobel Prize in Literature Goes to Austrian Known for Her Writings on Sexuality
and Aggression
By SCOTT MCLEMEE
... That is among Ms. Jelinek's own themes. The academy noted that in her most
recent plays, she puts on stage figures who are "less characters than 'language
interfaces' confronting each other," an approach that thereby reveals "the
inability of women to fully come to life in a world where they are painted over
with stereotypical images."
A.A. If women are stereotyped, then are not men by definition also
stereotyped? Men are increasingly marrying women who earn more than they do,
and women are even marrying men for their nurturing skills so they can pursue
careers. Bottom line: if women are sold a bill of goods about how to be women,
what does it say about men?
