It focuses on the polyphonic structure used by the novelist and how challenges monolithic exemplification of womanhood. Despite of receiving considerable critical acclaim for its variety, less interest has been given by scholars to the interplay between feminist politics and narrative form. <strong>Method:</strong> This article deals with that gap by analyzing how the multiplicity of voices through the novel presents complicated intersection of class, generational history, sexuality and race, especially within the framework of black British women’s competences and experiences. The research utilizes close textual analysis of the twelve correlated narratives to examine how the writer creates her feminist version; that is totally based on Kimberle Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality as well as the concept of polyphony by Mikhail Bakhtin. <strong>Results:</strong> The outcomes suggest that stylistic choice functions as less than polyphony. It becomes a way to intensify marginalized perspectives stand against the patriarchal and cultural elimination. <strong>Novelty:</strong> This study helps to show how formal novelty in literature can draw political and cultural critique.</em></p> Mohanad Abdulkadhim Hlail Copyright (c) 2025 Mohanad Abdulkadhim Hlail https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-08-30 2025-08-30 2 11 475 489 10.61796/ejheaa.v2i11.1427 https://journal.antispublisher.id/index.php/EJHEAA/article/view/1426 <p><strong><em>Objective:</em></strong><em> In this article written about the intersection of realism and naturalism in Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie. Both novels, though rooted in distinct literary traditions, reveal overlapping aesthetic and thematic concerns, particularly in their treatment of women’s struggles within oppressive social structures. <strong>Method:</strong> The study draws upon literary criticism, historical context, and narrative analysis to demonstrate how Hardy and Dreiser utilize their respective narrative strategies to reflect the deterministic forces of society while simultaneously allowing for moments of personal agency. <strong>Result:</strong> Hardy’s lyrical realism intertwines with the fatalistic tone of naturalism, whereas Dreiser’s journalistic detachment reflects a raw, unembellished portrayal of urban life. <strong>Novelty:</strong> Through comparative analysis, the article highlights how both authors capture the socio-economic pressures, gender roles, and moral constraints of their eras.</em></p> Hamzayeva Zebo Murodjon qizi Copyright (c) 2025 Hamzayeva Zebo Murodjon qizi https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2025-09-01 2025-09-01 2 11 490 495 10.61796/ejheaa.v2i11.1426
