Thesis (M.A.)--Southeast Missouri State University, 2023.

This thesis explores how Madeline Miller's Circe re-envisions Homer's Odyssey. Homer's version, for the most part, champions the masculine heroic; Miller challenges those heroics. Historically, feminine power and identity have been defined by the negation of masculinity, and what little power women had was, and is, often appropriated by their masculine counterparts. This thesis explores the feminist underpinnings of Miller's novel, which I originally theorized to be taken from fourth-wave feminist beliefs. After more research, the feminist ideologies that Miller uses are much more powerfully aligned with the theories of Helene Cixous, a French critical theorist. Circe's power and identity comes from a refusal to confine herself to the rigid boundaries set forth for her. As a goddess, a witch, and a woman, she blurs the rigid restrictions which would confine her identity to that of a sexual object, a wife, and a mother. In this Miller reflects the idea of voler, "to steal," as she gives Circe back her voice which has previously been drowned out by androcentric systems, in which language and socially constructed identities play the largest role in erasing and appropriating feminine power.
