THE SECRET GARDEN

Like all great stories for children, The Secret Garden contains powerful truths just beneath the surface. There is always a level at which the story is telling children about more than just events; it is telling them about the nature of life. It is a work of beauty, poetry, and deep mystery, and watching it is like entering for a time into a closed world where one's destiny may be discovered. In this film, Holland has again made a film about a missing child, but this time her theme and her telling of it are in complete harmony. It is a beautiful, intelligent film; a fable, a lesson, and entrancing entertainment.

From the character of Mary Lenox, we can see the moral of this story is that anyone can change. Mary Lennox is a young girl who was raised in India, becomes an orphan. She is initially an ill-tempered, self-absorbed child. Through fresh air, exercise, self-help, and the magic of the secret garden, she transforms into a healthy, robust, and caring child. While Dickon Sowerby is a young country lad who has an affinity for animals and nature. He befriends Mary and Colin and helps them tend the secret garden. He is so nice and heart-warming.

When modern historians and sociologists describe a "patriarchal society," they mean that men hold the positions of power and have more privilege: head of the family unit, leaders of social groups, a boss in the workplace, and heads of government. Feminist theorists have expanded the definition of patriarchal society to describe a systemic bias against women. As second-wave feminists examined society during the 1960s, they did observe households headed by women and female leaders. They were, of course, concerned with whether this was uncommon. More significant, however, was the way society  perceived  women in power as an exception to a collectively held view of women's "role" in society. Rather than saying that individual men oppressed women, most feminists saw that oppression of women came from the underlying bias o...
