THE HOUSE BETWEEN THE ROLES OF SUBJECT AND OBJECT IN VICTORIANISM

Issue:

INTERSTUDIA, Number 3

Section:

IDEOLOGY, CONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY AND LITERATURE

Abstract:

In order to approach the problem of identity in relation to the house and draw the most pertinent conclusions, it is important that we regard the house not only as a passive object to be observed, built, owned, bought, demolished or refurnished, but also as an active subject imposing its rules and dominant atmosphere upon its inhabitants. The novels that will provide textual support for the theoretical part are Anne BrontĂ«’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Charles Dickens’s Oliver Twist.

Keywords:

house, subject, object, identity, Victorianism.
