9.QUICK ANALYSIS OF" A WOMAN ON A ROOF"

"A Woman on a roof" was one of the texts that we were supposed to read. By the way, it was our presentation. When I read the story, the first question that came to my mind was, what will happen if that event occurs in Turkey? I really even do not want to think its consequences. On the other hand, basically this story highlights two different points. One is the perspective of men through that woman as a sexual object and the other one is the inequalities between social classes. While reading the text, we mustn't forget that Lessing is both a feminist and socialist woman.(she was the member of British communist party) In my opinion, one of the aim's of this text is to show the power of women, which we see in the text that she uses her beauty against men and shows her power by rejecting them, not even dare to talk. The other aim is to show the different social classes. Woman is most probably from the upper-middle class and workers are the labourers. Woman doesn't need to work and can feel the enjoy of sun, however men have to work under that burning sun.
