Ginia in Clelia – Pavesejeva ženska lika v zgodovinskem in sociološkem kontekstu

Jereb Žnidaršič, Tadeja (avtor), Prosenc, Irena (mentor)

Predmet raziskave sta Ginia in Clelia, ženska lika v Pavesejevih delih La bella estate in Tra donne sole. Želeli smo potrditi oziroma ovreči tezo, da obnašanje in način življenja obeh protagonistk ne sledi družbenim normam obdobij, v katerih so dela nastala. Roman La bella estate je nastal v obdobju med 2. sv. vojno (l. 1940); Tra donne sole pa je nastal l. 1949. Kar se tiče lika Ginie, je bila naša teza tu ovržena. V romanu ni indicev, ki bi nakazovali na njeno odstopanje od družbenih norm v času 2. sv. vojne. Kljub temu, da je Ginia zaposlena, opravlja delo, kjer ne zasluži veliko in ki ni zaželeno s strani moških. Na začetku se zdi, da poroka, ki je bila v tistem času največji dosežek ženske, Ginie ne zanima. Ko pa postaja vedno bolj zaljubljena v Guida, se izkaže, da tudi Ginia sanjari o tradicionalnem življenju za tisti čas – želi si namreč poroke. Edino dejstvo, ki nakazuje na Giniino modernost oz. «kršenje» norm, je to, da ima spolne odnose pred poroko. Kar se tiče lika Clelie, je bila naša teza v celoti potrjena, saj ni poročena, nima otrok in si jih niti ne želi, svojemu delu je izjemno predana. Prav tako ima svoboden pogled na ljubezen, ni pretirano romantična in ima avanturo s svojim kolegom. V magistrski nalogi smo izpostavili primere, kjer se kaže Cleliina samozavest (zna se postaviti zase, zavrača nadležne predloge moških in pravzaprav je ona tista, ki prevzame pobudo v avanturi z Becucciom). To so pokazatelji, da protagonistka ne sledi poti večine žensk, ki so živele v obdobju po 2. sv. vojni in ki kažejo na njeno sodobnost.

Izvleček

The subject of the research are Ginia and Clelia, the female characters in Pavese’s La bella estate and Tra donne sole. We wanted to confirm or refute the thesis that the behaviour and lifestyle of the two female protagonists do not follow the social norms in which the works were created. La bella estate was written during the World War II (1940); Tra donne sole was written in 1949. As for the character of Ginia, our thesis has been refuted here. There is no indication in the novel that she deviated from social norms during the World War II. Although Ginia is employed, she has a job where she does not earn much and which is not desirable by men. At the beginning, marriage, which at that time was a woman's greatest achievement, does not seem to interest Ginia. However, as she falls more and more in love with Guido, it turns out that Ginia also dreams of a traditional life for that time - she wants to get married. The only fact that indicates Ginia’s modernity or «breaking» of norms is that she is sexually active before marriage. As far as the character of Clelia is concerned, our thesis was completely confirmed, because she is not married, she does not have children and she even doesn’t want them, she is very dedicated to her work. She also has a liberal outlook on love, is not overly romantic and has an adventure with her colleague. In the Master's thesis, we have highlighted examples where Clelia’s self-confidence is evident (she is able to stand up for herself, she rejects annoying proposals from men and in fact it is she who takes the initiative in the adventure with Becuccio). These are indicators that the protagonist is not following the path of most women who lived in the post-World War II era, and which point to her modernity.
