The Setting of the novel plays a big part in the role of the women. I am going to look at the role of women in the following novels; Catch-22, A Clockwork Orange, The Merchant of Venice and Catcher in the Rye; as well as the role of women in the time that the writers wrote the novels. I am going to prove that both the author’s setting and the character in the novel’s setting is affected by the way in which women are portrayed in the novel. The setting is, in turn affected by the historical…
