This research aims to analyze the significant role of trauma survivors until the early twentieth century, when the First War was declared, by exposing the trauma and its recovery in the novel. This thesis addresses, more specifically, how war narratives of the First World War reflect upon the war trauma, which brought equally disastrous consequences for women, men and children and how the War contributed to the new perspective to look upon. By bringing into fore the homecoming of shell-shocked soldiers West tries to capture the way characters handle and redeem trauma by recalling his past life and triggering him by the death of his only son when the soldier returns home suffering amnesia as war trauma providing the healing touch for survival.Item Contradiction Within The Rover: A Gestic Feminist Study(Faculty of Art English, 2012-10) Rana, SugribThis research analyzes gender and sexuality subverts patriarchal ideology.

Grounding upon the concepts of postmodernism of various postmodernist critics, this study brings postmodern consciousness into consideration which lies embedded in various issues and events the novel dramatizes. From the critical analysis of both form and contents, the novel appears as an expression of the postmodern awareness of contemporary Nepalese societies and its peoples’ psyches.Item Cultural Hybridity and Adjustment Problem in The Tree Bride(Faculty Arts in English, 2012-10) Gurung, Lal MayaThis research work makes an attempt to denote the "cultural hybridity and adjustment problem" in Bharati Mukherjee’s The Tree Bride. Mukherjee being a diaspora author from Bengali community in America presents similar diasporic personality named Tara Chatterjee who after divorce with husband feels rootless in American society and trails back to West Bengal in search of the ancestry and cultural roots. She is neither a completely American nor a typical Indian. Rather she is in third space of cultural identity as the cultural hybridity what most of the diaspora people face. She in West Bengal reveals her past cultural heritage which was too developed through the similar cultural hybridity due to being a contact zone among British and Bengali during colonization. The clash of cultures even makes the Bengali bilingual which too plays the vital role to create the cultural hybridity. Analyzing these various factors this research concludes that diaspora and cultural in-betweenness are the integral part of colonization what the diasporic authors like Mukherjee try to represent in their literature in the phase of post-colonialism.Item IMPACT OF BAGMATI CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT ON LOCAL LAND USE AND ENVIRONMENT(Pulchowk Campus, 2012-10) RAJBHANDARI, ASHA SHREEUrban river corridors are considered to be prolific areas for development. They not only have numerous commercial potential but also are usually considered potentially attractive and ecologically interesting urban spaces. They have become prime targets for redevelopment in Western and European countries, offering the opportunity to create mixed use, high-density and high-quality communities and further adding to city beautification and environmental protection. The Bagmati River flowing through the core has very high environmental, social, historical and cultural value. However haphazard and tremendous urban growth as a result of improper planning, management and numerous problems has resulted in the degradation of the river converting it into virtually an open sewer. This has degraded not only the environment but also affected the economic opportunities of the surrounding land. In this aspect the research tries to identify the existing situation of the study area in relation to road development and the land use and environmental problems encountered as a result. This research examines the changes that have occurred in the study area over a period of four decades mainly focusing on the land use and river environment aspect, ultimately analyzing the present scenario. A descriptive approach including several field observations, questionnaire survey of buildings along the river corridor road and analysis of aerial and satellite images through digitization was applied in the study. In the existing situation commercialization is inevitable in the area and so should be further promoted in a planned manner together with keeping the river environment in mind. Ultimately the main aim of this study is to help in guiding future urban river corridor road developments in order to realize their full potentials, to learn from the existing problems encountered by the Bagmati River Corridor Road and so to provide the necessary guidelines and recommendations for proper development in future cases.Item Failure of Androgyny in Woolf's Orlando(Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2012-10) Bhattarai, LaxmiCritics like Michael Rosenthal agree that Orlando offers a fictional ideal embodiment of the androgyny that Woolf exalts in A Room of One’s Own. However, this research argues that Woolf actually relies on stereotypical gender differences to critique the pitfalls of gender and sexual conditioning in Orlando, which reveals Woolf’s serious doubt about the potentiality of her own proposed state of androgyny. Orlando is unable to reach the ideal state of mental androgyny that Woolf exalts in A Room of One’s Own because of cultural and social conditioning. Pressures and expectations, both inner and outer, prevent Orlando from developing the androgynous mind that Woolf idealizes in A Room of One’s Own. In Orlando, Woolf does not depict an ideal androgyny but actually shows why androgyny is impossible
