Abstract | ||
Contemporary creative literature always receives an upperhand as it was considered to be the only public discourse that facilitated women specially from Bengali households to give vent to their long-repressed desires. What becomes significant was the ‘exodus’ of Bengali women from the socially constructed invisible confinements that contributed to a great extent to the omission or trivialization of women. Impediments pertaining to fields like education and marriage have given a new dimension to the way women view their life living in these households. This paper explores the scenario of a Bengali household and attempts to understand the issues that contribute to various kinds of treatment meted out to women through the lens of a women, as she pens it down in her much-celebrated work. This paper also explores the way language has been used by a female author which can further our studies into the field of gynocriticism which talks about analysis of literature from a female perspective.
