Lust

The true essence of the narratives of the unique Austrian writer Jelinek lies in her ability to translate her charm into her discourse, to refute the prevailing and stereotypical view of the eternal relationship between women and men, and to prepare a broad field for the practice of subjective (instinctive) interpretation that differs in the characteristics of its manifestation. This is what you read in the novel “Lust”, whose author was keen to invent female pornography in order to turn the equation of stereotypical lust and confront the sexual masochism of women resulting from male dominance. She does this by shedding light on the life of a husband and wife in the Austrian countryside, with images laden with the symbolic suggestion of the myth of Adam/Eve and on the basis of ambiguous sexual response, and investing in images to highlight the interaction between them through levels of dialogue full of privacy and seduction. In the writer’s opinion: “The man is the one who makes pornography, while the woman is mostly the silent target of the male gaze… Men are trying hard to save the myth of women as they invented it, I will not contribute to that… Pornography was invented and written by male imaginations, and for women it is an impossible desire.” The writer here tries to highlight the model of the woman who desires instead of being merely desired, which the writer calls “positive desire.” Within this equation, the narrative continues, which Jelinek made a world that obeys her secrets. She discusses her forbidden thoughts about the relationship between men and women. From the atmosphere of the novel we read: “The wife knows the pressure point on her husband’s foot in his shoe, which he will now cross her fence with, as he sometimes cannot control himself until the evening, so he asks her to come to the library. In the factory, where his bird of prey cannot control itself and angrily demands to sit in his own nest. …..
