The Power of Love in Jeanette Winterson's Work
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The aim of this paper is to discuss the role of love in Jeanette Winterson’s fiction. The author perceives love as a powerful and liberating force, which functions as a mirror allowing people to turn inwards and see themselves as they really are. The ability to love is described in Winterson’s books as a prerequisite for achieving inner peace and freedom, which is one of the ultimate goals of every human being. However, since love possesses the power to give us access to the innermost aspects of our personalities and thus reveal both light and darks sides of our selves that people might not be ready to face, they usually do not fully unlock this potential of love. Instead, in pursuit of happiness and freedom, they turn to substituting stimuli, such as religion, technology, violence or casual sex. The paper examines these issues and analyzes their role in Winterson’s fiction.
