However, the effects of this fundamental and socialised subjugation is varied throughout each text, due to the discrepancy of socio-political and historical contexts. Winterson’s Oranges are Not the Only Fruit, Churchill’s Top Girls and some of Rossetti’s poetry such as Goblin Market, make reference to how considerations of patriarchal conformation has allowed or forced the repression and denial of sexuality. The act of repressing sexuality is inherently due to patriarchal discrimination, which is frequently depicted in all manner of literature. ‘Our literature is full, as are our lives, of men and women, but especially women, who deny the reality of sexual attraction because of considerations of class, religion, race and gender itself.’ (Angela Carter, The Sadeian Woman) Compare the ways in which sexual relationships are represented in your chosen texts with this view in mind. ![]() ![]() It’s also about the secrets that haunt us-and, ultimately, what the truth will set free.
