碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 台灣文學研究所 === 105 === During Japanese ruling period in Taiwan, the gender discourse that created for the aim of liberation of colony by new intellectuals was interwoven with love and marriage issues closely. Previous studies focusing on Taiwan New Literature have pointed out that male writers used to treat female characters as instrumental objects to advocacy their political agenda in the novels so that the female images presented in their works were usually rigid. However, the processes of male protagonists’ subject construction are often overlooked. Also, the issue of male bonding between male protagonists and other male characters is rarely discussed carefully. Therefore, this thesis suggests that “Misogyny” theory proposed by Ueno Chizuko, the feminist sociologist in Japan, can be useful for analyzing the gender representations in these novels about love and marriage in the 1930’s.
