criticism
(p. 109-116)Arkin explores the treatment of traditional sex roles in The Pea-pickers, arguing that Langley presents both the reasons for rejecting these roles and the risks of doing so. Arkin concludes that Eve's belief in romantic models of manhood and womanhood clash with the reality of her situation, making her transvestism a simplistic parody rather than an assertion of identity.
