The Analysis of Heather Raffo’s 9 Parts of Desire

Öz

Gender is a complex issue especially for women in Iraq beside the historical tumultuous period, and so many women suffer from both gendered and racial hardships. Not only sexual harassment but also patriarchal society oppresses their physical and psychological state of minds. Heather Raffo’s 9 Parts of Desire is a great symbolization for indicating how diverse women portray different identities and experiences in their lives. However, each of them fights for one thing: love. Patriarchal regulations with its clothing rules or religious restrictions create limited space for Iraqi women in the play, and they search for liberation throughout the play. Some escape from their home countries, or some stay and fight for liberation. However, each character in the play struggles against difficulties with her brave heart. This study will examine these women in terms of identity, racial and gendered theories. Among these approaches, the gender theory will shed light on an essence of the play due to deal with nine women’s searching of desire. The play also reflects these women with their lyrical statements and so it is an important point that the theatrical play is narrated in a poetic monologue. Thanks to various theorists such as Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall and Julia Kristeva, the study creates authentic perspectives in the field of Middle Eastern American Drama.
