INTRODUCTION
In the 20th century, English and Uzbek literature began to explore women's
challenges to social structures, particularly patriarchy. In this regard, feminist literary
studies focus on how writings reveal and oppose oppressive structures based on
gender. Literary writings, according to feminist researchers, are strongly ingrained in
ideological frameworks that uphold gender inequity rather than being neutral.
Simon de Beauvoir emphasizes that gender identity is socially produced when
she says, “One is not born, but rather becomes, a women” (de Beauvoir, 1949). This
concept is crucial in comprehending the shaping of female characters within
patriarchal regimes.
This article examines two significant works: “Wide Sargasso Sea” by Jean Rhys
(Rhys, 1966) and “Night and Day” by Cholpon as resistance narratives. Despite the
events of “Wide Sargasso Sea” are set in 19 century, the novel itself reflects 20 -
th
th
century feminist reinterpretation. Although the novels reflect different historical and
cultural background, both works depict female characters that live under patriarchal
control. At the same time, these characters have different resistance against
patriarchy psychologically, symbolically and emotionally, respectively.
The purpose of this research is to examine how these novels serve as resistance
narratives and how they depict the fight of women against patriarchal power
systems.

1. Patriarchal Power Structures in Literature
As an academic method, feminist criticism looks for ways that literature both
reflects and upholds patriarchal ideals. According to philosophers like, women have
historically been created as the “Other,” defined in reference to males rather than as 409
separate persons.
