Abstract (english)
Annie Proulx's short stories “Tits-Up in a Ditch” and “Brokeback Mountain” offer an image of rural communities in Wyoming which function as a microcosm with their own social norms and a distinct way of life. In presenting the reader with characters whose lives do not fit the expectations and stereotypes of life in the American West, Proulx subverts the myth of the West as a place of stoic masculinity and reveals the underlying anxieties of such a society. The protagonists of “Brokeback Mountain” struggle to reconcile their discordant identities as gay cowboys, while the heroine of “Tits-Up in a Ditch” endeavors to overcome her rocky start in life and find a better future for herself and her child in the military. By displacing the suffering of her female protagonist from the sexist environment of rural Wyoming to an overseas warzone, she points to her shifting identities as she tries to redefine herself outside the bounds of the poor ranch where she grew up. Her inability to do so mirrors the tragic ending awaiting the male protagonist of “Brokeback Mountain”.
