La Solidarite Feminine Ou La Sororite Dans Le Roman De Pearl Buck, Pavillon De Femmes (1946)

Abstract

Through a socio-cultural perspective, we study the way in which the narrative shapes the friendly
and benevolent ties that form female solidarity or indulgent sorority. We question how the novelist
represents solidarity or sorority through female adventure in her story Pavillon de femmes. We will analyze
the socio-cultural characteristics of the characters according to the object of the sorority and its aspects
which open a broad perspective on the conceptions of friendship, loyalty, honesty. In addition, we focus on
the figures of the sorority and the quarrel on these friendships consolidated because of the system of values
and social norms in the text of Pearl Buck. We demonstrate that Buck's story is interpreted in a different way
in his structures of female solidarity as a composition representing the punctual loyalty of female characters.
