Speech, In The Dark

Under the darkness of patriarchy culture, the writing of modern female viewed the female's individual vital essence at a unique visual angle and with typical writing. It was not only arousing the youth, enthusiasm, love and laugh, also lowly appealing to pain, gloom, regret and tears. Modern female's texts penetrated the first daughters' images that had been ignored or stabled by male writing history, and showed the subversion characters which were quite different from the traditional male's texts. This thesis is written at the angle of cultural criticism and psychoanalysis, unfolds modern female writing visual threshold, exhibits the potential anxiety, bewilderment and struggle from conscious to subconscious of firstborn daughters, firstborn daughter writers' autobiography's confide showing the surviving anxiety in transform era, and the huge swallow force of the patriarchy's dark unconsciousness.The image of "firstborn daughter" possessed unique meaning as a culture type in modern times. The study of it can help us understand female's existence state in transform era, and understand the difficulties and setbacks and the probable trend of women's emancipation in times between tradition and modern edge. The purpose of this thesis is to announce the meaning of writing history about firstborn daughter by modern female writers, namely, concern the existence circumstances of modern firstborn daughters, and recover original history condition, and form potential overturning and rewriting of tradition male writing history on firstborn daughter at the female's angle.At three angles firstborn daughters' image have been analyzed throng female visual in this thesis.First: the basic existence state of firstborn daughters in modern female's texts.

In the language condition of father power, firstborn daughter images correspond with the Archetype of "The Great Mother" who has duplicity of mother and female. They not only possess the property of the pardon and nourishment of maternal instinct, but also possess the role property of obedience and silenceas father's daughter.Third: the effect of accounting oneself in the texts of modern firstborn daughter writers: recessively overturn and self-rescue.
