Echoes of the Deep: Feminine Resilience through the Lens of Blue Humanities in Emilia Hart’s Siren

In English Literature studies, almost every writer is obsessed with oceans and seas. Many oceanic imageries were used by the writers in their works. The fact is as a human being, we have impacted so much with oceans and seas. Literature, culture, media and even anthropologies are so much influenced by oceans and seas. The concept explained above comes under Blue Humanities. Blue Humanities refers to the vast show of water specifically oceans and bodies and how these water bodies are represented in a text. This is such a cutting edge and an emerging field that bridges the gap between literature, culture, history and anthropology, making it an exciting topic for research and studies. In this connection, one of the most famous American works of Emilia Hart, “The Sirens” explores the experiences and stories of two sisters who is separated by hundreds of years and time but are connected by the sea. This book is a blend of historical fiction, magical realism followed by mystery as the character Lucy exposes family secrets and the magical lore of the sea through her evocative dreams. Feminine Resilience in Literature prospects how female characters bounce back from their traditional roles in family to recover their identity. Themes like sisterhood, feminine resilience, and female power that is drawn from the author's family history and compassion of the ocean can be studied in this novel. This paper explores how Emilia Hart's Siren involves characters that merges Feminine Resilience and Blue ethics which is one of the core elements in the study of blue humanities.
