Ah Bah's Money and Non-Western Literature

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses three works of non-Western literature, particularly "Ah Bah's Money", "The Bondmaid" and "The Tale of Genji". It is the author's view that all three works are ironic stories of duality and betrayal on certain levels. These stories show the shattered dreams of youth. As well, these stories reveal the gender problem, as we see the crude sexism of Singapore society. It is through the education that these writers give us that awareness can begin to liberate the peoples in these societies.
