Abstract

This article discusses the resistance to women’s image in the novel La Grande Borne by Nh Dini. The study shows that the resistance to the image of domestic women is manifested through the status and role of women as wives and housewives. Women's abilities to maintain their roles as mothers who raise their children, show their superiority in domestic affairs even though they often get pressures as their husband always puts them in a lower position. In order to defend her self-esteem, a wife leaves her husband by having affairs with some other men respectively. Women try to find their strengths to restore their pride by turning herself to another man. In this way a woman gets the power from inside herself to survive as a respectful "wife" who in turn obtains her existence as a woman and as a wife.
