An Analytical Study of Women Objectification in The Patience Stone by Atiq Rahimi

Abstract

    The current study examines that, objectification as an issue that is common to women in a patriarchal society in which a woman is treated as an object. Although the worldview is changing, this issue is still prevailing in most countries where the patriarchal system is still common. This study focuses to explore the problem of sexual objectification in the novel The Patience Stone (2008) by Atiq Rahimi. It also shows how women's life is governed by men and how the female is objectified in a patriarchal society. This study uses the framework of objectification presented by Martha Nussbaum and Rae Langton and the character of the protagonist is analyzed, using this framework. The final findings of the study declare that all the features of objectification that Martha Nussbaum and Rae Langton describes are present in the novel. This study proves that the woman (protagonist) in the novel is objectified.
