| Abstract |
The Danish Girl, written by David Ebershoff, is based on the true story of the transgender pioneer Lili Elbe, who was born as Einar Wegener in the early 20th century. Einar had a happy married life with his wife Gerda Wegener until Gerda convinced her husband Einar to pose in women’s clothing for a portrait, so Gerda would be able to finish her work. This small moment becomes a momentous incident when Einar realizes that he could not hide his true gender and identity as a woman any longer. The
novel focuses on how Lili, formerly Einar, struggles throughout her groundbreaking transgender journey. Some of Lili’s journey includes intimacy that challenges social standards, the division of males and
females within society and Lili’s sex reassignment surgery to become fully female. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the life of Lili Elbe/Einar Wegener is portrayed, by adopting Judith Butler’s queer
theory as the lens to obtain knowledge and understand queer individuals in society during that time period. Through the course of this study both confusion as well as social and family pressures were found, which can then be used to illuminate the definition of transgender in a “socially-constructed” society. |
