self - Opis:
- This article looks at the identity of the widow from linguistic, cultural, psychological, and literary perspectives. The basis of this analysis is Joyce Carol Oates’s grief narrative A Widow’s Story: A Memoir. First, the term “widow” and its connotations are examined and illustrated by appropriate examples from Oates’s memoir and psychological research. Next, I present an overview of the situation of the widow in selected developing countries where the state of widowhood becomes a serious deterrent to forming a new identity after a loss. Finally, I address the definitions of the widow in Joyce Carol Oates’s memoir, A Widow’s Story: A Memoir.
