Stigmatization of Women in Rimal’s Masan

Abstract

Written by the poet and playwright Gopal Prasad Rimal and translated By Dr. Sangita Rayamajhi, play Masan demonstrates the stigmatized scenario of the traditional middle class Hindu family. The main concern goes on the study on cause and effects of the stigma which destroyed life of two women of the play, Dulahi and young woman. By presenting the reality of elite Brahmin family and their concept about marriage, child birth and existential values of women the writer shows the stigmatized situation of women as well as traditional Hindu practice of contemporary Nepalese society. So this realistic play is the social document which confirms stigmatized situation of women.
