Abstract

This study discusses the complex personality of Georgie in Theresa Rebeck's High Heels (1992) by depending on the feminist points of view of one of the French feminist practitioners, Luce Irigaray. A short introduction is given to illustrate the woman's situation in this study while referring to the play. This paper is limited to the analysis of Georgie's personality though employing some of Irigaray's feminist ideas. Her dissatisfaction with her life and the patriarchal system will be the focusing points of this paper. Georgie's motives and personal movements will be explained as a method to reach her dream.
