Abstract
A Night's Drama, a collection of short stories, draws the women's subordinate positions in the patriarchal society. Women are never allowed any free domains and they are compelled to bow down before the patriarchy. They have adopted the course paved by males despite their numerous efforts and desires. It paints the social reality juxtaposing women's struggle through an apparently meaningless existence. Because of the functioning of hegemonic patriarchy, women in A Night's Drama suffer a lot and accept passive recipient's role in the absence of any agency where women never get a space to raise their voice. So they are unable to overthrow the dominant patriarchal imposition and endowed with stereotypical status. Joshi's A Night's Drama artistically depicts women's subjugation in patriarchal society.
