on her portrayal of strong female characters. Incorporating biographical and feminist
perspectives, a close reading of both her iconic and non-iconic female characters was used
in this study. The latter reveals the significant impact of Christie’s society on her character
development, particularly in relation to women’s empowerment and independence. Her
female family members had impact on her personality, making her a powerful woman.
Thus, as a writer, her characters mirror aspects of herself, including her own values and
beliefs. Additionally, Christie adeptly incorporates the “New Woman” concept, offering a
glimpse into the idealized position of women in her literary works. By portraying female
characters that defy societal expectations and embrace their agency, she attempted to
highlight the importance of women as they embrace various roles. By her narratives,
Christie demonstrates the significance of women as central figures, challenging traditional
gender roles and advocating for their active participation in society. | note de thèses : | Master Degree in civilization and Literature |
