Abstract
The main objective of this dissertation is to study masculinity and how it is
applied as a literary theory and its crisis. It also seeks to add another dimension in
understanding the lives of men, masculinity and its crisis in some selected novels
of Ian McEwan. It provides a close reading of McEwan’s two novels “Enduring
Love and The Child in Time, exploring masculinity, its history and crisis as
portrayed by the British novelist Ian McEwan in his marvelous novels from a wide
variety of angles. It also illustrates the significance of childhood in forming
masculine crisis and how fulfilling childhood dreams helps regaining masculinity
and power. It proves how McEwan is a gifted British novelist who succeeds in
depicting the contemporary masculine crisis of men and his integration of the main
factors of masculine crisis, lack of power, emasculation, womb envy and
homophobia in his two marvelous novels Enduring Love and The Child in Time
and the ways of overcoming and getting rid of this fatal crisis.
