About
This thesis explores the social construction of gender through literature looking specifically at Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire written by J. K. Rowling (2000). Connell's (2002) four gender structures will be utilized as a guide to explore how gender is represented in this specific piece of literature. Research has been done to support the effect of secondary socialization in our understanding of what is valued by society and therefore how we act out our gender. Consistent messages of sexism in a variety of mediums contribute to the continued undervaluing of traditional female roles in our society. An analysis of the Goblet of Fire shows that sexism also exists in the magical world of Harry Potter created by the author.
