Özet

Abstract: Gender is a problematic issue on which numerous discussions and surveys have

been made throughout the centuries. Especially, since more than two hundred years the

feminine and masculine roles have been among the main concerns of writers and theorists.

However, in time the clear cut differences between female and male roles become more

blurred. Actually, the female reactions and feminist movements help the improvements in

female life and her value in patriarchal societies. Yet, the male roles and masculinity cannot

be erased from social life and they change from culture to culture even from religion to

religion. The aim of this paper is to show the male identity and masculinity through the gender

roles in Appalachian Society and Dominican society. The main idea of this research is

illustrated and supported by the examples from Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier and The

Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.

Keywords: Masculinity, Gender Roles, Dominican culture, Appalachian cultures,
