FEMINIST
NARRATIVE ELEMENTS
While passing through the Witches' Road, the character
Agatha actually goes on a kind of inner journey, where she confronts herself. In
the series subtext; It highlights women as strong-dominant figures that
manifest themselves in the male-dominated ideology and centers women's
solidarity with feminist narrative elements. In her 1949 work titled "The
Second Sex" (Le Deuxième Sexe), in which French philosopher Simone de
Beauvoir, a feminist thinker, laid the foundations of modern feminism, she made
a scientific examination of the oppression of women and in her work in which
she laid the foundations of modern feminism; she re-reads contemporary ideas
such as existentialism, phenomenology and structural anthropology, as well as
philosophical classics such as Hegel and Marx, on the gender plane. Beauvoir;
“We can understand how the hierarchy between the sexes is established only by
reconsidering the data of prehistory and ethnography in the light of
existential philosophy.” The philosopher added: “Because humanity questions
itself in its own existence, that is, because it prefers the reasons for living
to life itself, the man has put himself as the master before the woman; The
man's plan is not to repeat himself over time, but to dominate the moment and
establish the future.” She emphasizes that man's activity prevails over the
blurred forces of life and enslaves women. In the series, we see the effects
mentioned by Simone de Beauvoir.
