Subversive Female Agency in Parijat's under the sleepless mountain

Abstract

The present research on Parijat’s Under the Sleepless Mountain seeks to foreground the complex ontological and epistemological condition of women in Nepalese society. Basic thrust of the research lies in depicting how women blur the boundaries of patriarchy. In this line present research analyzes that female character devise subversive agency to consume the confidence of patriarchy that subjected to women. Nepalese women have adopted the course paved by male despite their numerous efforts and desires. Parijat relates the story of marginalized female and their socio-economic life in the local level with their conscious spirit about their position in the patriarchal society. As the domination and subordination keep on going, women characters are hegemonized and their consciousness against the male ideology is yet to come through the continuous effort.
