Women’s Bodily Redemption in Richard Yates’ Revolutionary Road: An Analysis From the Perspectives of Body Narrative and Feminist Jurisprudence.

This paper tries to analyze Revolutionary Road from the perspectives of body narrative and feminist jurisprudence. The second part, “The Pain of Childbirth”, and the third part, “The Bewilderment Between the Soul and the Body”, talk about female physical and mental health, respectively. The fourth part, “The Trespass of the Body”, promotes Reproductive Health Rights and Birthing Rights, thus further exploring how the women, as the subject of desire, trespass their heavy human bodies, how they overcome the unbearable lightness of their bodies, how they control and subdue their bodies, and how they finally gain salvation and revolution.
