Emotional Justice
This podcast applies the lens of Emotional Justice to romance novels in an effort to identify the harmful and ingrained misogyny that we’ve been taught to accept in relationships while also highlighting examples of healthy communication, realistic expectations, and looking for a real happily ever after.
Emotional Justice
The Raven Prince
This episode looks for emotional justice in Elizabeth Hoyt's historical romance, "The Raven Prince."
The Romance Writers of America defines a romance novel as having "a central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending."
The RWA further defines an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending as the lover being "rewarded with emotional justice and unconditional love."
The lens of Emotional Justice is about recognizing, addressing, and repairing emotional harm. It looks for how the MMC and FMC receive validation, healing, and equitable treatment by asking the following questions:
- Are emotional wounds acknowledged and addressed?
- Is justice achieved for those who have been wronged?
- Are power imbalances meaningfully confronted and rectified?
- Do the characters grow in ways that promote emotional equity?
