The Cultural Significance of Women:A Representation Through a Historical Short Story-Too Much Happiness

New Historicism has a strong affinity with Aurebach’s opening gambit:‘the isolation of resonant textual fragment that is revealed, under the pressure of analysis, to represent the work from which it is drawn and the particular culture in which the work was produced and consumed... characterized by particular set of circumstances, structures and assumptions and as something that conveys the life-world of the moment (Gallagher & Greenblatt 2001:35). The initial effort of this article is to revise the history created by men in literature. As women, are stereotyped and portrayed only according to mans’ understanding or his expectations of women.
