| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this research was to study the perspective of women from the QueenÕs Confession by Vitoria Holt and the Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. The analytical method from two novels, the history, patriarchy concept and feminism concepts were implemented in this investigation. Analysis was conducted using four conceptual frame works: the women's role, womenÕs values, social disparity or inequality and other social factors. The results found that; 1) the concept of the womenÕs role, especially, the political bargaining can be seen in The QueensÕs Confession, but in The Good Earth, the women were an exploitation tool for their family. In regard to being a follower; the two novels had similar ideas in the Òarranged marriageÓ. Moreover, in the genealogy aspect, the women of the two novels had the same status in order to produce heirs for the maleÕs family and taking care of the family. 2) with the womenÕs values aspect, it was obviously found in the QueenÕs Confession, especially the main characters were bullied regarding ethnic issues. But in the Chinese society under the concept of Òthe body under an orchestrationÓ, can be initiated from the women, who were suffering in a value of beauty such as foot binding. 3) In the concept of the social disparity; the women tyrannical by the social class and gender, can be found with the high and low social status of the woman. Also, in the concept of the women under the social pressure; the two novels had the same believes in the patriarchal concept. It is no great surprise that the man was also a big person of the family from the past until now. Lastly, 4) In the aspect of other elements of society that effect women; mainly in the moral and customary issues, it used to be a strong social frame to control the women of the two novels such as not being able to make decisions by herself, but only permitted women to function in the family role. © 2022, Research and Development Institute Suan Dusit University.
