Analyzing Feminist Ideologies and Aspirations: A Critical Discourse Analysis of the Last Excerpt of Durrani's My Feudal Lord

    The study investigates the last excerpt of Durrani's My Feudal Lord (1994). The study aims to explore feminist ideologies and aspirations expressed in the text. Purposive sampling of the last excerpt of Durrani's My Feudal Lord is done as it concludes the whole book. Fairclough's three-dimensional model is used as a theoretical framework. Findings reveal that, at the description level, values of words and grammatical elements show the contestation between patriarchal thoughts and feminist aspirations. At the interpretation level, the interpretation of the text reveals that Khar, through harsh words, represented patriarchal thought, which is challenged by Durrani and the interpretation of context reveals the silence of women as the primary cause of increasing male dominance. At the explanation level, the excerpt seems non-normative as it challenges patriarchal oppression and empowers women to define their own essence as Durrani decides to break the traditional silence.
