Abstract:

Matapos kong basahin ang nobelang Huling Himagsik ni Buenaventura S. Medina Jr., nakadama ako ng paghihimagsik bilang babae sa natuklasang hindi pantay na pagtrato ni Medina sa mga tauhang babae at lalaki sa kaniyang nobela. Upang patunayan kung may katuwiran ba ang aking sariling himagsik, minabuti kong suriin ang mga tauhang babae at lalaki sa nobela gamit ang isang natatanging varayti ng pagbasa—ang pagbasa bilang babae. Nakapokus ang papel na ito sa aking pagsusuri sa mga tauhang babae at lalaki sa nobelang Huling Himagsik. Naglalaman ito ng aking reaksiyon at opinyon bilang isang mambabasang babae sa premyadong nobelang Huling Himagsik ng premyadong manunulat na si Medina.

After reading Buenaventura S. Medina Jr.’s Huling Himagsik, I felt disgusted, felt the need, as a woman, to “revolt” againts Medina’s unequal treatment of male and female characters in his novel. To prove that there is no bias on my part, I decided to study and critique the female and male characters in the novel using the reading as a woman theory. This paper is focused on the study of both the female and the male characters in the novel Huling Himagsik. It includes my very own reactions and opinions as a woman, after reading the award-winning novel of an award-winning writer, Buenaventura S. Medina Jr.
