ABSTRACT

Both Katherine Mansfield and Yuhui Chen are outstanding Marine novelists. As women, they stand on their special perspectives to show us a different ocean to readers. This paper focuses on the female subjectivity in "At the Bay" and Chen, which is closely related to ocean imagery.  "Ocean" is a representative of women, rather than what used to appear in most of the literature works. They use ocean imagery to show that the ocean is the embodiment or implication of female consciousness and subjectivity.

KEYWORDS

Female subjectivity, Poseidon Family, "At the Bay", ocean imagery
