En concreto, la investigación aborda la representación del protagonista homónimo como un intento fallido de encarnar la masculinidad blanca estadounidense hegemónica durante finales del siglo XIX y a principios del XX, lo que se debe a cuatro factores: su incapacidad de ascender socialmente, cultivarse intelectualmente, ejercer de forma exitosa el rol de proveedor material de la familia y convertirse en el patriarca de la misma. Se analiza, a su vez, la influencia de los personajes femeninos Zeena y Mattie en el fracaso del protagonista. Con este fin, el artículo se sirve de construcciones teóricas que describen los ideales de masculinidad y feminidad hegemónicos en los Estados Unidos del período analizado, así como el concepto de patriarcado. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":137533,"journal":{"name":"Babel – AFIAL : Aspectos de Filoloxía Inglesa e Alemá","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128481537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
