This study aims to do a comparative study on Fingersmith(2005) and The Handmaiden(2016). Fingersmith, broadcasted on BBC Channel, was made based on Sarah Waters’ novel Fingersmith(2002) and it was reproduced by Korean Director Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden. Both of the two works mainly reveal women’s desire to escape from men’s oppression. The line of flight the women in the two works try to choose originates from men’s obsessive-compulsive neurosis and perversion and from the society where the social self of women was oppressed. While there exists a lot of criticism regarding lesbian relationship the women share, the two works have significant importance in shedding light on the whole processes of female bonds through which the women find their own desires and they are reborn as new subjects with social self.
