Abstract

Novels have been considered mirrors of social realities. In Soledad S. Reyes’ work Values of Love and Marriage in the Tagalog Novels (1980), with the help of 25 novels, Reyes reveals the Filipino concept of love and marriage and how such concepts are influenced by parents, society, and family members to adhere to the idealized love and marriage. Taking Reyes’ work as true, this paper will look into Reyes’ work and her conclusion that the concept of love and marriage are networks that oppress women based on Marilyn Frye’s Oppression (2000). Hence, this paper will conclude that despite Reyes’ work being only one, the novels she has analyzed are numerous, and these novels have different themes which when related to each other will reveal a network that oppresses women to adhere to the idea of women during those times.
