Ice Candy Man as a Feminist Manifesto

Abstract

The novel Ice Candy Man can be categorized as a feminist text as it has the female characters that hold and perform the action. There is basic difference between a male discourse and a feminist text. The male discourse has male characters having the qualities of heroism, sacrifice, justice, chivalry etc. and the female characters remain passive and the receivers of the actions done by the males. But in a feminist text the female characters perform and control the action having the qualities of heroism and glory. They promote the action with their active involvement in the process.
