Abstract
The present paper is to explicate different sorts of responses to the normalizing rubrics of society specifically in a microcosm of Margaret Atwood’s Cat’s Eye as an epitome. Three different groups of characters are taken under observation to illuminate the processes of enacting domination on human being and their various reactions; moreover, their struggle for survival. Applying different critics’ theories- particularly Foucault- the authors try to demonstrate and attest the need of having an artistic character to be able to fight back the subjugating rules and invent a new life line and a new character.
