- Abstract
This thesis analyses the image of The Aunt in two periods of time, that is before and after the enforcement of China’s birth control policy. In both periods the character is alienated, first as an angel and then as a devil. The reason why the very same person can be seen so differently is that she is too barbaric and crazy in carrying out the birth control policy made by the government.
