It applies a three dimensional modal of CDA by Fairclough, for the analysis of the selected work. This model tends to focus on the text and the social processes of producing and interpreting a text with the help of socio-cultural context in which it is written. Bulks of examples are witnessed from the book My Feudal Lord that are showing male gender hegemony and violence. It highlights that how women live under socially restricted circumstances; where they suffer from disappointment, frustration, discouragement and taunting.
