Abstract:
The House on Mango Street written by Mexican American Sandra Cisneros is an autobiographic feminine initiation novel, in which the heroine Esperanza describes her growth experience and feminine figures in a Spanishspeaking community of Chicago in 1960s in the form of diary in order to construct a new self, while examining experience self via the association and transference. Therefore, the novel shows a special process about feminine subject identity in growth by the means of feminine narration to rebel the oppression from the patriarchy. Besides, it is of great help to close read the novel from the feminine perspective by analyzing the characters of mother and performantive subject, so it is accessible to understand better the persistent effort and the absolute awareness to reconstruct the feminine subject in the culture background with ethic, class and gender different from the mainstream.
