 Uses feminist theory to examine Victorian literature  Nineteenth Century male writers' tended to categorize female characters as either pure, angelic women, or rebellious, unkempt madwomen, so... ... women writers were confined to make their female characters either the "angel" or the "monster.“  Gilbert and Gubar: Writers should strive for definition beyond this dichotomy, whose options are limited by a patriarchal point of view.
