When an author begins to construct a novel, there is a myriad of various factors that he must take into account. An author not only cares about the superficial plot - the plot lines, characters, actions and dialogue - but also cares about the approach they take while writing their story. Approach refers to how the author's audience reads the words the author deliberately chooses to write. Often, any approach an author decides to use is a way for the author to take a stand on a specific issue taking place in the world around them. Writers use their literary pieces as a way to show their personal beliefs. A popular approach taken by writers is the genre approach. The authors will express their opinions on different gender issues through character roles, dialogue and word choice. Having an approach, such as a genre one, forces the audience to read the text in a specific way and, often, the statement made by the author can cause the reader to question their beliefs and their society. Gender is a very important approach for authors to use because gender issues have no end. Gender issues – such as female expectations or male versus female dominance – are constant, and it is entirely possible that there will never be a solution to resolve the gender war. Since gender topics are constant, authors often choose to write about them in their literary pieces. The positions they take on different gender issues matter when readers interpret them correctly. Without readers interpreting what the author is really trying to say, the author's approach is meaningless. But when readers can actually identify the author's underlying message, it gives them an opportunity... in the middle of the paper... an inferior, scared woman. Nothing more than someone who will always be defeated by the fist of man. Nothing more than a generous, maternal figure. In many novels, genre plays a huge role in developing the ideas and actions of the overall story. Making statements about gender through literature is a way for an author to express their opinions in a way that other people can relate to. No matter what the view is on gender – males are dominant, women are more than housewives, or women are what they are meant to be – authors have the opportunity to say something, and possibly change something, about the issues that they consider important. . By choosing an approach and weaving in clues about their personal beliefs and allowing readers to agree or disagree with them, writers can ultimately play a role in changing the way things work, and so can audiences. of the writer..
