Abstract:

House of Edriss is the story of the wandering women in the circle of human disasters. Women in the two structural power disciplines and in the two seemingly old and new worlds cannot have any role other than a victim. In this novel, women such as Roxana and Rahilla are considered to be desirable merely because of their beautiful appearance and other women have become obsessed with their traditional life style. In the new communist discipline, these women change their identities to ideologically imprisoned workers. In the novel, one revolution can transform each society; the house of the traditional aristocrats is seized. But women do not get free. Even women like Shaukat, who are at high levels of power, have to deny their femininity, and this is the culmination of women's hostile sexism and self-objecting. On the other hand, Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid's Tale is the story of handmaids who live in a fantasy country called Gilead, where women do not have the right to read. Women's worth is only about their fertility. The novel, based on the characteristics of defining the identity of individuals through social foundations, which leads to self-centeredness, is an analytical work based on the loss of women's identity in the capitalist system. The analysis of the two aforementioned stories is not based on the female object-oriented approach that the women in the traditional life have neither rights nor human identities, nor have the political trends of the left and the right of the modern world.
