Abstract
This paper aimed at analysing the issue of prostitution as an act of will and pleasure or push factor based on extreme necessity. The study is conducted focusing on the character of Lady Roxana. She was an abandoned woman with her five kids who was obliged to become a prostitute in the 17th century British society. Prostitution and the quest of easy life has been the solution she found in her hopelessness situation. This paper does not aim at praising prostitution, neither at condemning Roxana but rather, to show the realities women faced in life. Feminism and sociological criticism have been used to complete this research paper. As result, I found that, marital life is not easy and the living environment has a great influence on individual’s lives. Today we notice that women conditions improved compared to the Victorian area. They are more and more active and are no more considered as the weak sex.
