ABSTRACT

This study is an analysis of the women characters in the short fiction of Nick Joaquin. It proceeds from the

proposition that the women characters, though they appear emancipated or empowered, are actually dominated by the

patriarchal order. In relation to this, the women characters are subjected to a feminist critique. Using a feminist framework,

this study submits these women characters to a close analysis, in an attempt to show how they are ultimately defined by

patriarchal assumptions.

This study focuses on twenty-two women characters from the fourteen stories of Joaquin which have been

anthologized in Prose and Poems and Tropical Gothic. These women characters are classified into two groups – the defiant

and the dominated. The former includes the characters who initially appear to subvert patriarchy, while the latter are the

characters who appear to be subjected to it.

The study shows that all of these characters are dominated by the patriarchal order and that Joaquin, in spite of

appearing to advocate matriarchy through his stories, actually sustains the viewpoints of patriarchy.
