Deadlly Unna
DEADLY UNNA PRACTICE
In Phillip Gwynne’s novel, ‘Deadly Unna?’ one of the major themes explored throughout the book is racial and gender division. This book is situated in an isolated and quite part of Southern Australia.
Throughout the storyline, Phillip uses various characters and events to depict how society back in the 70’s went through gender division and racial division. For example how opportunities differ for females and males, economic advantages and disadvantages, and racial groups. During the story, Gary Black’s mother was shown to be unable to take up a prestigious and respected position in the town simply due the gender difference and also portrays the women to be soft and labour material who stick to literature. A different event, whereby Gary assumes the nungas town, the point, looked like a messy destructed place, is completely surprised to how opposite it looks from the racial division facts he’d heard before.
In Philip Gwynne’s novel, majority of female characters are shown to be missing out on major responsible positions, due to the fact that they’re not males who are shown to be dominant and violent. One of these females being Gary Black’s mum. Quite early in the novel, the port is shown to be mainly dominated by male characters for the foremost and important roles and positions. For example Mr Arks is the football coach, slogs is the man who runs the meat shop, Big Mac is the president of the football club, it’s the fathers who predominantly run the family decisions and it’s a male shown to be presenting awards at the grand final Do. The main points which can be elaborated further is the contrast between the personalities of male and women, and females unable to take on responsible roles. Phillip projects men to be tough, serious, intolerant and racist. On the other hand, women are expected to stay at home and work for the pleasure of the husbands acting like a labour, who are forced to slowly get into literature. For
