Abstract

In this essay, the postmodern novel The Vegetarian (2015) written by Korean author Han Kang will be analyzed. The aim of this paper is to develop an allegorical reading from a feminist perspective, exploring different issues such as patriarchal norms, objectification of women and violence against them.
From a postmodern poetics’ point of view, multiple realities and certainties will be questioned and the construction/deconstruction of zones will help the reader to think about the different worlds and representations.
