dc.description.abstract Honour killing is a global crisis that has been depicted in different literary texts. This thesis aims to understand and analyze the politicization of Islam and gender roles that play a role in the honour killing of Muslim women across the world. Incorporating Louis Althusser‘s Ideologies and Ideological State Apparatus theory, and Sigmund Freud‘s Psychoanalysis theory this thesis evaluates literary texts Bliss (2002) by Zulfu Livaneli, Maps for Lost Lovers (2004) by Nadeem Aslam and The Cry of the Dove (2007). By analyzing these literary texts, I argue that gender discrimination, the manipulation of Islam, the failure of state laws in different countries, and Muslim women‘s subalternation aids in the continuation of honour killing en_US
