The title The Female Quixote is an allusion to Miguel de Cervantes’s great novel Don Quixote.Cervantes’s hero insists on believing entirely and literally in the chivalric romances he has read.In consequence he insists on acting out the role of the knight-errant, the adventurous hero he has read in his books. Likewise in The Female Quixote we have a similar character, the female counterpart Arabella, the daughter of an eccentric Marquis.In accordance with her reading she sees herself as the leading heroine of her own life-which is a romance.In line with her view of life she interprets everything around her through her knowledge of romances, since she is isolated into her castle by her father and she has no access to the so-called real world.But it becomes evident later that she has seen enough of that threatening world in her abode to deny the reality of it by taking her romance reading as the ultimate interpretation of reality.It is also important to note that the eccentric Marquis who is frustrated by the society created an isolation for himself and lured Arabella's mother after a short courtship into this castle.She is a woman much younger in years to himself and she is isolated into this gothic castle against her wish.The same tendency to captivate and fix women is the tendency of patriarchal society.To cure her boredom the Marchioness has bought great store of romances which was discovered by Arabella in her father’s library.Obviously Arabella chooses to inherit her mother’s choice of rejecting gothic victimization of women to a genre which relatively centralizes and empowers women against men:romances. In assuming the character of a romance heroine Arabella wants to become the writer of her own life and she fights against fixity she is imposed upon by running away from imagined ravishers and real ones.In a way she proves that “to control the modes of narration is to control the world”.
