| contents | Gender Issues and Intricacies in Shobha De’s Select Novels Ollala Srinivas Lengua y Literatura Quest Privacy Identity Subjectivity Gender Issues Shobha De, a feminist writer, depicts her female protagonists in a forceful way and uses the plot to emphasize her point that personal is not private but political. The protagonists in her works were outspoken critics of conventional society and its rules. They are not the typical women who accept abusive, unsatisfying, or uncomfortable relationships (in all aspects). It could be male dominance, objectification, sexual discontent, passion, or something else entirely. They don't keep it hidden because they believe it is taboo. On the other hand, the male characters are not shown as villains, but it is evident from the plot that they are products of patriarchal society. Gender issues in her works aren't about female oppression in terms of domestic violence; rather, they are about the sexual vacuum that all of the female characters experience. Male characters were traditionally assigned duties such as sexually active, powerful, and have self-identity, but these female figures defy such stereotypes. They represent women by demonstrating that they too have sexual wants, power, and a need for selfidentity. As a result, this research focuses on Shobha De’s novels Socialite Evenings (1989), Sisters (1992), Starry Nights (1991), Second Thoughts (1996), which all deal with gender issues. The study not only examines issues but sheds light on the protagonists' struggles to find self-identity. 2021 artículo científico 2455-6580 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=703873558019 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558019/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558019/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558019/703873558019.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558019/movil https://doi.org/10.53032/TCL.2021.6.3.20 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7038 The Creative Launcher application/pdf Perception Publishing The Creative Launcher (India) Num.3 Vol.6 |
