Abstract

The author traces the theme of violence against women and the different way of living and metabolizing shame by male figures through the emblematically same and different stories of Sufiya and Lucie narrated by J. M. Coetzee and S. Rushdie. Although set in two very different realities, Pakistan and South Africa, the condition of the two women is very similar, assimilated by the violence suffered and by the stigma of shame, understood Hegelianally as pathos of separateness, as the emergence of the original fear of the finite, which the man wants to overcome through procreation.
