Abstract: | A Situation in New Delhi presents clear picture of male domination and suppression against women even in modern world. Devi wants to live as a free human being not as a subjugated woman and resists against of her brother Shivraj's desire to make her a mere instrument of her brother. So, she acts like a neurotic character that is unberable to the self-centred Shivraj. In this crisis, she takes a decision of remaining widow/spinster rather than marrying Michael which will bind her in the rules and regulations of patriarchal society. And she spends her life separately. The character of Devi shows the protest against the denial of freedom and against the outdated social opinion and orthodox treatment of woman. The need for freedom for women, according to her, does not merely mean the definance of old-established conventions, it must also make her aware of herself as an individual and refuse to tolerate injustice. |
