Abstract
This master thesis looks into gender performativity by analyzing Laura Wade’s play Home I’m Darling. More specifically, it dives into its characters and how they perform their gender roles on an everyday basis: in the context of work, at home, etc. It draws parallels between its female figures and how they perform gender differently. We also see their different preferences regarding work (being a housewife, career woman, etc.) and how it reflects on their lives and relationships. The analysis also uncovers different expectations, burdens and attitudes when it comes to the expectations of characters of what acting “like a real man” or woman means. It also shows how performing one’s gender reflects directly on the people around them, and what the different consequences of that can be. The analysis also looks into stereotypes about men and women. Furthermore, it gives examples of sexist language and points of view, especially regarding sexual assault of women at work. Finally, this master thesis concludes with how the main points of the analysis can make us reflect on our own lives and perception of gender.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se rodnom performativnošću kroz analizu drame Laure Wade Home I’m Darling. Analizira sve likove pojedinačno te kako izvode svoje rodne uloge u svakodnevnom životu: na radnom mjestu, kod kuće, itd. Analiza uključuje povlačenje paralela između ženskih figura kako bi se vidjele razlike u njihovoj rodnoj performativnosti. Također vidimo njihove različite preferencije po pitanju posla (među likovima je domaćica, žena fokusirana na karijeru, itd.) te kako se one odražavaju na njihove živote i odnose. Analiza također otkriva različita očekivanja, teret i stavove kada promatramo što za likove znači ponašati se kao „pravi muškarac“ili žena. Također vidimo kako rodna performativnost ima izravan utjecaj na ljude oko nas i koje su njene posljedice. Također se navode primjeri stereotipa o ženama i muškarcima, te seksističkog jezika i stavova, posebice u kontekstu seksualnog napada na radnom mjestu. Kraj diplomskog rada fokusira se na to kako glavne točke i zaključci iz analize mogu potaknuti na refleksiju o vlastitom životu i percepciji roda.
