CONCLUSION

In both Dickens' and Tolkien's novels, a woman remains powerless, and the male-dominated social sphere dictates the actions by which she can create her identity. In the text of Dickens, readers realize that the public sphere is not able to provide collective assistance to its citizens, and, in the end, mobility is not provided to anyone. Bleak House, as a legal satire, attempts to question these power roles and suggest ways in which the laws of Victorian England should be challenged.In Dark House, Dickens sheds light on the idea that women can challenge their roles in every sphere. As a result of this challenge, Dickens goes so far as to suggest that it is women, not the legal sphere, who should preserve their identity. This assumption ensures the preservation of separate spheres, but strongly requires that there be a more mutually beneficial harmony between the two spheres. In general, this proposed balance in gender regulation would benefit not only the women of England, but also the functioning of English society as a whole.

Going beyond the construction that occurs in the text of Dickens, Tolkien pays more attention to the control of female identity. The Law on Marital Relations of 1937-78 destabilized the power structures present in both the public and private spheres, which ultimately led to the strengthening of the role of women. For the male-dominated public sphere, questions of law became questions of society, and questions of society became questions of law. Tolkien's work is a symptomatic result of the interaction of law and society. Both Dickens and Tolkien give an accurate idea of their era. Legal or fantastic, Bleak House and The Brotherhood of the Ring acted as a means to question the norms and ideals established by society. Each author could simply represent women or completely exclude them from his text in order to provoke discussion. By applying the prism of new historicism to each text, a deeper understanding of the literary and legal contexts is achieved. When the law and society interact holistically, each area can become a more effective tool for society.
Even after the publication date, both Tolkien and Dickens successfully initiate a dialogue using their texts. "The Gloomy House" and "The Brotherhood of the Ring" were favorably transformed into film adaptations, but the storylines, as well as the roles of women, were adapted into current performances. These texts remain relevant and provide for a discussion of their impact on modern society.Women have the ability to rewrite history as well as the future, regardless of the sphere in which they occur. This change can only happen by engaging in a social dialogue around legal norms and regulations affecting women. Since society is in a state of cultural anxiety related to gender roles and marriage regulation, now is the time for women to overcome barriers that deny self-regulation of their own identity.
