Abstract
It is required to indicate that: this research intends to highlight the dark era of the rural woman during the nineteenth century in an explicitly offensive way by narrating Zola’s novel the Earth (La Terre) which reflects the harsh life under the effects of heavy ignorance in a society based on cruelty and radical inclination to adore wealth to the extent of committing crimes in their ugliest forms. Zola depicts the image of the rural woman as a crushed creature which is deeply engaged in the vice and suffering from the forest law which considers vice as virtue in addition to establishing gender discrimination between male and female and the inclination to profit gaining and the principle of survival is for the strongest. Amidst this barbarity woman have no option but to be subject to the totalitarian authority of the man which considers woman as a private property to be owned by a contract or as an asset or free meal for which man would pour his lust or to consider her as a black ant doing huge jobs despite lack of capability. From another side, this research concentrates on the family dissociation caused by inheritance problems and social consequences poured on the woman which leads Earth and its effect on the rural woman which is happiness and desperation; emotion and desire which exceeds the limits of the hardest types of sadness and death. It is Earth that conquers the woman’s heart and body. This research is an answer for an urgent question: How is the rural woman living in society of cruelty and love of possession ?
