When I first heard Read all about it by Emeli Sandé, I fell in love. It was a song with intense lyrics and a wonderful piano ballad. Although her song could be interpreted in many ways, I felt that it perfectly described and related to my quiet, shy character. I listened to it all the time especially when I was having a horrible day. For me, Emeli Sandé was trying to encourage me to come out of my shell, overcome my fears and leave the world and its troubles behind me. In the last few weeks that I have spent studying Text and Meaning, with all the literary theories learned in this course, Reading All This is more than the timid coming out of their shell. This song, seen through the Marxist and feminist prism, expresses a simple truth: there is truly injustice in the world. The world has been divided into two, upper (the bourgeois and men) and lower (the proletariat and women). Looking at my favorite song through these two analytical lenses not only opened my eyes to the division and injustice in our world, but also made me aware of the relationship between these two lenses. However, it remains my favorite text. By the way, what is feminism? Feminism cannot be tied to just one definition because not all feminists believe in the same thing, they all have their own set of beliefs. Feminist literary theory according to Lois Tyson (1999, p. 81) examines the ways in which literature reinforces or undermines the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women. This song talks about the inequality of women. In the first line of the first verse it says “You have the words to change a nation but you bite your tongue” which clearly describes patriarchy. Patriarchy is the system...... middle of paper ......st and feminist literary theory have one goal, to challenge the power structures in a society. I believe there is a relationship between the fight for a classless society and gender equality that is not possible without the other. Inessa Armand, the first leader of the women's department of the Russian Revolution of 1917, said: "If women's liberation is unthinkable without communism, then communism is unthinkable without women's liberation." » This simply means that patriarchy and all its unwanted baggage cannot be eradicated without uprooting the achievement of a classless society. Besides Emeli Sandé using images and a soft voice to create a beautiful compilation, she tells us a simple message which, seen through these two lenses, makes things clearer, showed me the relationship between the two analytical glasses and it definitely remains my favorite text..
