Abstract
This thesis looks into the questions of gender roles and gender performativity. It analyzes the representation of gender and how traditional performativity is being treated and/or challenged in the following works of fantastic literature: Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Left Hand of Darkness and Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series. The theoretical framework, based mostly on the work of Judith Butler, provides insight into how feminism and queer theory contribute to the understanding of gender and heteronormativity, and how scholarly and scientific research further consolidates the separation of sex and gender. The thesis shows that even though gender and heteronormativity are challenged in most works of fantastic fiction (alongside showing the negative effects they have on individuals), they are still reestablished by the end of most traditional/older texts. It is only in recent works of science fiction that the status quo is challenged without reinforcing the traditional gender roles and heteronormativity.
