Breaking Traditional Gender and Social Rules Through Deviant Sexuality in Ian McEwan's Work (The Cement Garden, Enduring Love, On Chesil Beach)

The paper explores the theme of breaking traditional gender and social rules through deviant sexuality in Ian McEwan's work. Since his first book First Love, Last Rites, the unusual choice of topics was the most noticeable characteristic in Ian McEwan's work and that would become his trademark, so critics would refer to him as Ian MaCabre. By putting his characters in bizarre situations related to sexual perversion the author breaks traditional stereotypes of how men or women should behave in a certain situation. He chooses the extreme examples as incestuous love to face the social system which does not allow certain kinds of behaviour.
