dressing style of human unique thought to behave more like someone else. The feeling of desire, being afraid, experience is difficult to take down, the only way
to get through with it, is by eliminating it from the conscious mind and strenghtening the faith of dreams or desires. However it will remain in the
unconscious thought and there is always a return of those feelings which are repressed.
The representation of characters and events are proven in literary ways, both of them are made to comunicate each other, avoiding indirect meanings and
representing the essence of meanings from the time, place, and person applied. The Freudian interpretation is seen to be more rational rather than simply things,
interpretation tends to elaborate the sexual conotation in the objects and transforms it into the representation of images and dreams.,
A final example of important Freudian terminology is the dream work, the process by which real events or desires are tranformed into dream images.

C. Method of the Study
The writer developed the procedure of undergraduate thesis‟ analysis into three steps of order. The first one was about the statement whether the study was
library research or field research, the second was about the primary and secondary resources which supported the object of the data, and the discussion about the
theoritical order to be taken into the analysis was discussed in the third or final step.
In the first step, this undergraduate thesis was considered to be a library research, the writer had considered this because all the findings of theories,
critical approaches, and the data could be discovered briefly in the written textbook.
The second step was about the primary and secondary resources which were used as the basic principals of criticism, related studies, related theories, and
novel as the object of the study. Based on the object of the study, the novel that the writer had examined was Fistful of Colours, a written novel by Christine
Suchen Lim, to be the material of the object. The related studies about Gender Oppression and Resistance was derived from the study of Ramdas. The writer
also used The Feminist Thought, third edtion by Rosemarie Tong and it had contained the theory of Multicultural, Global and Postcolonial criticism. The
theory of patriarchy was mainly delivered from The Will to Change; Men, Masculinity, and Love by Bell Hooks and Understanding contemporary
fatherhood: masculine care and the patriarchal deficitby Jemimah Bailey. The theory of character and characterization was taken from Glosary Literary Terms
by J.J Abrams. Psychoanalytic approach was derived from Beginning Theory by Peter Berry which emphasized the cope of framework of this thesis.
The final step discussed the orders taken to analysis. First, the writer took the sample of object of data that explain Suwen‟s characteristic. Second, the
writer took the evidences or descriptions of Singapore‟s society‟s life condition
which attached in Suwen‟s family and friend‟s historical and present background ,in the aspect of economy, politic, culture, and sex reproduction in Singapore.
Third, the writer moved to the analysis which examined the process of development of Suwen‟s feminist behaviour and thought,the writer divided the
third step into three subchapters or smaller sections that would explain Suwen‟s
development through the relationship with family, friends, and the painting.
