feminist reading of Harmione’s character
Feminist reading of Harmione’s character in
Harry Potter: How do the character portrayal of Harmione and other female
characters support feminist discourse?
The female protagonist is mainly opposite to the Victorian
mind set regarding woman, Rowling put her female character forward even at the
moments of crisis to lead other characters in the novel Harry Potter. The
rationality is chiefly portrayed in
Hermione’s character. Not as the same but far better than male characters
regarding knowledge and the implement of knowledge is portrayed in her
presentation.
Harry Potter is a fantasy for the children but it is
good that it leads the children in right way because mainly the serials or
cartoons those full of fantasy have the female characters who only clpas on the
remarkable actions of hero means male protagonist. But it deconstructs the
constructed idea in away.
A woman is rejected for writing or gaining knowledge
through library in one era and the female protagonist is paradoxical to this
types of tradition.
Even her name has the meaning in Greek mythology. Hermione’
is the female derivative of ‘Hermes’, a messenger god known for his sharp wit
and ability to transition between worlds. Quite fittingly, Hermione
transitioned between the Muggle and wizarding worlds, delivered information
(seriously, has nobody else read Hogwarts: A History?) and was pretty
sharp-witted herself.
