The Presentation and Narrative Strategies for Patriarchal Discourse in A Thousand Splendid Suns
Michel Foucault believed that discourse was the carrier of power.In A Thousand Splendid Suns,Hosseini does not simply expresses his dissatisfaction with patriarchal discourse and sympathy for women through the novel,but also demonstrates the complexity and diversity of patriarchal discourse in Afghanistan by changing narra-tive perspectives and spaces.He attempts to portray the real Afghanistan through novels,eliminates the western de-monizing interpretation of Afghanistan,and hopes to promote the integration of diverse cultures while maintaining the subjectivity of Afghan culture.
