Her writing affirms the importance of considering not only the events unfolding in the course of a novel, but the narrative process by which the author articulates these events when considering the nature of a work’s significance to gendered experience and authorship. Oates posits and demonstrates narration as a cathartic process of identity development that initiates the emergence of authentic, autonomous female voice.
While at first glance, such an interpretation might seem justified due to the graphic nature of the subject matter, it neglects a crucial redemptive pattern that surfaces repeatedly in her writing. Feminists in particular have condemned her narratives for condoning female victimization. Although her voluminous body of work has received considerable critical acclaim, the explosive sexuality and violence depicted frequently in her writing, in addition to the apparent passivity of her female characters, have drawn harsh criticism.
