Domination Through the Ages

This work studies and compares T. S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" and William Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" in the light of Ecofeminist theory and in conjuction with the ideas of Judith Butler and Michael Faucault on power and sexuality. It aims to explore the idea that there is a similar discourse of male domination in these two works, and although some aspects of this discourse alter over the years, the core of the discourse of male power and domination in these two texts seems to be closely related.
