摘要:This paper analyzes the female characters in Don Quixote from a feminist perspective, exploring the ways in which gender and power relations are presented in the novel. By analyzing the major female characters in the novel (Dulcinea, Teresa Panza, Marcella, and other female characters), the paper points out that these characters, though seemingly weak or subordinate on the surface, actually reveal the gender inequality in the society of the time and how women fnd their place in the social structure. The paper uses the literature review method to summarize relevant studies, analyze the relationship between gender and power in Don Quixote, and reveal how Cervantes refects the hierarchical system of the Spanish society of the time through female characters.
