Abstract

For centuries, women have been thrown into a pattern that dictates them to replicate the behaviour of the generations of women under male dominance. They have been made to believe that they are incapable of receiving respect or fair treatment from a male society. They are the dull and insignificant shadows of men, mistaking servitude for idealism. They slide into nothingness and cower in their fears and insecurities. These terrorized and oppressed women experience their moments of spark to snap their ties with the repressive customs and render themselves a refreshing transformation to rewrite their identity. They muster their courage to get self-sufficient and build a world of strength in and around them to rise above prejudices and stigmas. This paper explores the rough journey of a woman, who breaks the stereotypes designated by the self-indulgent men ,and finds her bold self in her pursuit of identity and freedom in Manju Kapur’s A Married Woman.
