This paper is extracted from a Master’s thesis. It aims at identifying and illustrating gender roles and other related issues that are portrayed in the selected novel. It attempts to answer the questions: what is the gender-based roles in the novel? and what are the linguistic strategies and techniques that are used in the depiction of gender-based roles and discrimination? The study is qualitative as it presents critical explanation of the data that is extracted from the original text of the narrative. Fairclough’s 3D model of CDA is used as the main method, and it is blended with van Dijk’s methodology and ideological square. It is concluded that the division of gender roles in Kurdish society is unfair; men are given more superior and authoritative roles. While women have inferior and submissive roles. The writer used language as a powerful tool to convey his ideologies and criticize his male-dominated society.
