赫若的小說擅於描寫女性，尤其是關於弱勢婦女描寫，並非為了消極同情，更有積極的反省與隱含式的批判。這些婦女的不幸，往往來自於主導、設計整個體制的男性，也就是父權的象徵。因此，對於壓抑他者的象徵─父權的批判、反抗，成為一種走向人格獨立與文明必然手段，這種反抗意識的的形成，就是審父意識的表現。這種描述不光彩、虛偽，又無情且壓抑婦女的審父概念也透過「加害者」的女性表現而更加不堪與突顯。呂赫若小說筆下的女性雖然身處弱勢群體，面對傳統「父權」的壓迫，卻有一部份表現出助紂為虐的幫兇行為，她們對付同性弱者的手段甚至於比家庭中的男性主導者更為暴虐，企圖替父權樹立權威，並藉以獲得權勢或提高自身地位等。呂赫若有意創造這種女性加害者的形象，目的在於透過這種女性的形象建構與行為表現來突顯父權的可怖，這種可怖的父權行為之可憎形象建構與批判，即為一種審父意識；另一方面，也有積極性的提醒女性該有的自覺表現。

V Ruo-He（呂赫若） is good at describing women's fiction, particularly on vulnerable women description. He wrote this is not only for passive sympathy but more positive reflection and the implicit criticism. The misfortune of these women often came from the male dominanting which was a symbol of patriarchy. Therefore, this revolt (suppressing others) and going against authoritarian patriarchy had become a means of inevitable trend toward personal independence and civilization. The formation of this revolt consciousness, was the against authoritarian patriarchy performance. This disgraceful, hypocritical, and ruthless description became rather more unbearable and evident throuth the depressing to weak femle. Though the women were vulnerable groups, in the face of traditional ＂patriarchal＂ oppression, there was a part of evil accomplice behavior under the description of the author. To obtain or promote their status and power, the ways they dealt with the weak equivalence were even more cruel than the male-dominated family that attempted to establish the patriarchal authority. It is very obvious that the witer intentionally created this image of Female assailant. The main goal was to highlight the patriarchal horror through the woman's image construction and oppressive behavior. These horrible image of patriarchal behavior and the critique of abomination acts Construction were the the conscious of the Resentment against authoritarian patriarchy ; on the other hand, there was also motivated to remind women to be aware of self-conscious performance.
