Introduction One of the most peculiar aspects about the relationship between men and women is that, despite being commonly referred to as the representatives of a ‘weaker sex’, women often prove themselves capable of coercing men to act in one way or another. In its turn, this can be explained by the fact that, as opposed to what it happened to be the case with men, who turn sexual from time to time, women never cease remaining 100% sexual beings, for whom sex represents nothing short of the most effective instrument of self-actualization. As Weininger noted: “The female is always sexual, the male is sexual only intermittently. The sexual instinct is always active in woman, whilst in man it is at rest from time to time… A woman has not her sexuality limited to periods of time, nor to localized organs” (72). In this paper, I will explore the validity of the above-stated at length, in regards to the novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz, because there are indeed a number of reasons to refer to the novel’s description of some of the featured female-characters, as such that correlates perfectly well with Weininger’s suggestion, in this respect. Discussion One of the novel’s most notable female-characters, in the sense of how it portrays the very essence of female sexuality, is Belicia. The reason for this is quite apparent – Belicia’s very physical appearance implies that her individually could not be discussed outside of what appears to have been the character’s ‘talent’ in creating a strongly defined sexual tension, while in public: “(Belicia’s) breasts are immensities. One of the wonders of the world. The only ones… that are bigger are in nudie magazines or on really fat ladies. They’re 35 triple-Ds and the aureoles are as big as saucers” (Diaz 19). Throughout the course of her teenage years, Belicia used to contemplate the possibility of attaining a social prominence by the mean of pursuing a professional career in nursing. This is the reason why, after having bumped into Jack Pujols for the first time (and consequently developed an amorous feeling for him), Belicia thought that it would not take too long for Jack to notice her, as well. After all, while at the private school in Bani, Belicia was considered an exemplary student, which in turn implied that her prospects in life were rather bright. Nevertheless, it was namely at the age of fourteen (when Belicia reached puberty) that she started to attract Jack’s attention. The reason for this is that at this age, Belicia undergone a metamorphosis into nothing short of an adult woman (in the physical sense of this word), whose looks emanated the aura of a sexual seductiveness. Consequently, this has led Belicia to conclude that her worth, as a female, was directly linked to how she looked on the ‘outside’. After having come up with this conclusion, Belicia realized that it would prove thoroughly justified, on her part, to decide to have sex with Jack. After all, such her decision was indeed fully consistent with what she began to suspect represents a woman’s ‘true calling’ in life – to take advantage of the fact that sexually aroused men can be easily manipulated with.
