      ab: Luce Irigaray's mimesis is a political action born out of the recognition that women's position in society is based upon the ideal image of masculinity. It is, thus, a strategy that aims to articulate the specific position of women within the phallocentric culture in order to destabilize the foundations of this culture. Three of Harold Pinter's film adaptations —Accident (1967), The Go-Between (1971), and Betrayal (1983)—portray women in intricate relationships with men; consequently, the women are seen by some critics as liberated, yet ultimately, they are commodified. When it comes to the institution of marriage, Irigaray's mimesis theory together with a broad-spectrum feminist critique, see this "liberation" as a mirage.
