Abstract

In this research paper, we would like to discuss the author Saad Odeh's experience in embodying the female image through picturesque scenes and events in his novel "inverted slipper," which penetrates the reader's mind and serves as a reflective mirror through which he sees the damaged and oppressed female in his society, as a result of societal beliefs developed for masculine culture by constants ingrained in the public consciousness through historical precedent.
A methodological plan including an abstract, an introduction, and four sections was followed by the research. The rationale for selecting this novel is laid out in the introduction. Following the opening, which focused on "Brokenness and the Shock of Initiation and Addressing," the four sections were presented. Psychological Brokenness and Self-Deprivation was the title of the first section. The second section addressed "the absurd refraction and fragmentation of the feminine self." The third section was "the refraction and the power of forming the scene," and the fourth section was "the breakage and the oppositions of the female self." With a conclusion and a list of approved sources and references, we wrapped up the research.
As for the critical works adopted, the nature of the research required us to follow the procedures of cultural criticism in order to reveal the culture controlling the production of this narrative discourse.
