Maria Irene Fornes's Fefu and Her Friends and The Conduct of Life show her concerns about the oppressed women who suffer and succumb in the end. In Fefu and Her Friends Julia shows madness as a reaction to psychological oppression in a patriarchal society. In The Conduct of Life Orlando uses violence to control Leticia and Nena. This paper examines how Fornes uses madness and violence as a major metaphor in each play to represent the tyranny of the patriarchy both psychologically and physically.
In Fefu and Her Friends, Fornes shows how the patriarchal ideology impacts on women by examining the relationships of women. The relationship of Fefu and Julia plays a major role replacing dramatic action of the play. Julia's paralysis represents her willing abandonment of resistance against patriarchy to survive in a male-dominated society. However, she becomes delirious when she tries to recite the prayer imbued with the patriarchal ideology. Fefu follows Julia's steps as Fefu enjoys a shooting game involving her husband, a misogynist. Fefu is frustrated because Julia is paralyzed and cannot be her role model any more as a defiant protester against the patriarchy. Fefu's frustration and disappointment with Julia, her psychological breakup with Julia, leads to the total inertia and symbolic death of Julia. The homosexual relationship of Paula and Cecilia represents women's desire to be free from male domination. After discussing the secret thoughts and problems with each other, Fefu's friends gradually share the communal feelings with each other which they celebrate in their water fight. Julia's madness has spread through them and as a result their consciousness is about to be raised.
In The Conduct of Life the patriarchal ideology is identified with fascism. Violence and subjection is mandatory for the people in that society. Orlando, a torturer in the military, deals with the women in the same way he does with the tortured. Governed by the desire for power and feeling the pleasure from violence on others, he abuses Leticia and Nena both psychologically and physically. In this play Fornes's concern is focused on how the ideology can be perpetuated by the oppressed themselves. Leticia kills Orlando and gives the gun to Nena, a helpless twelve-year old girl. Leticia becomes an oppressor by reproducing the violence she had to deal with. Nena allows for the violence to be perpetuated by internalizing the ideology society teaches her. She inadvertently contributes to reproduce the ideology as is shown in her statement about conducting her life.
Fornes's theatre is didactic. By showing the oppressed, including women who suffer and succumb, Fornes urges the audience to take steps not to be victims themselves.
