Negotiating the Subjugation of Femininity in Memories of Rain by Sunetra Gupta
Keywords:
Feminism, Marginalisation, Betrayal, Memory, RebirthAbstract
This paper attempts to understand how the main character takes her ultimate decision and emancipates herself in the patriarchal driven area in the novel Memories of Rain, and also illustrates the struggles faced by the character and her internal emotions. The tale that takes place in a single weekend is portrayed by Sunetra Gupta's Memories of Rain (1992), which comparatively narrates the throwback of a marriage between an Indian girl and an English fjord. The novel is greatly congratulated by its lengthy style of prose.
