Abstract
This thesis will explore the themes of Catholicism and sexuality in Kate O’Brien’s novels Mary Lavelle and The Land of Spices and Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls trilogy. Moreover, it will explore the basic characteristics of the Bildungsroman genre through James Joyce’s novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and will illustrate how the main issues in Joyce’s colonial Ireland and its relationship to youth at the end of the 19th century continued to burden the female protagonists of the 20th century post-colonial Bildungsroman novels. Additionally, the thesis will provide accounts of the contrast challenges faced by the male and female characters in their journeys to self-development. The thesis in particular examines Kate O’Brien’s and Edna O’Brien’s portrayals of heroines navigating the strict social and religious frameworks of mid-twentieth century Ireland. The themes of sexuality and Catholicism, family and gender, and leaving and returning to Ireland will be explored to illustrate the characters’ understanding of the world and its gender-prescribed norms imposed by the Church and the State.
