3. The Portrayal of the Main Female Characters in Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials Trilogy
University essay from Lunds universitet/EngelskaAbstract : This thesis, based on Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, analyses, from a gender perspective, the depiction of the two main female characters, the main protagonist Lyra and her mother Marisa Coulter, by contemplating their developments throughout the story and by comparing them to the depiction and development of their male counterparts: the second protagonist Will, and Lyra's father Lord Asriel.
