Abstract
- Abstract: The study of “Money and Sexuality in Martin Amis’ Money A Suicide Note 1984” has permitted to demonstrate that even if money is useful, it can create the disappearance of moral values. In that it becomes an opportunity for wealthy people to devalue female sex. Focusing on Marxist theory, the research sorts out the consuming society created by money in Amis’ Money. Given that money gives the impression that everything can be achieved through it so that John Self generates a world of opulence in which money offers an ease access to sex in order to show his domination on other people. But through the character Selina, women have figured out that money does not mean a key that opens the door of sexuality and there are values such as love, living together and peace which characterize female gender. We have to note down that wealth does not refer to the destruction moral values and the sacredness of female sex but a way to implement culture and valorise female gender. Keywords: Culture, Gender, Money, Marxism, Sexuality
