Disability can affect each and every one of us throughout our lives. Thus, it is crucial to understand disability, disablism, and the experience of the disabled. Disability studies and literature are well connected since writers portray disability and the disabled in their fictional works. The cultural model of disability is employed to analyze the confrontation between the disabled and the non-disabled in Susan Nussbaum’s Good Kings Bad Kings (2013). Nussbaum, an American disabled writer, is dissatisfied with the representation of disability and the disabled in literature, so she attempts to highlight the predicament of the disabled, and focuses on the most important problems they face. This paper traces these problems, and examines the role of society and culture in shaping the lives of the disabled and disempowering them.
