Abstract
The Pavilion of Women is written by Pearl S. Buck,a very famous American female writer who has particular interest in Chinese culture and loves telling Chinese stories. She has a series of works about Chinese people, among which The Pavilion of Women is a typical one to describe a traditional Chinese family and the women living there. The description of the women in the novel is pretty vivid, especially about Madam Wu’s awakening of soul. This essay focuses on the four main female characters in the novel, including Madam Wu and her three daughters-in-law, and interprets these characters from the perspective of eco-feminism. Madam Wu is the typical woman to pursue freedom and keep intimate relationship with surroundings. Meng is the victim of the patriarchy, devoting herself to her husband and children. The other wives of the sons are different in that they try to protect themselves in marriage and pursue the equality with men.
Keywords: Pearl S. Buck; The Pavilion of Women; Eco-feminism
