Theme of Love and Marriage: A Diasporic Concern with the reference to the works of Sunetra Gupta
Keywords:
Theme, love, marriage, diaspora, feminismAbstract
Sunetra Gupta has studied the relationship between the individual in her novels as an Indo-British emigrant. The theme of love and marriage is prevalent and repeated in most of the novels. The male belongs to the West or the female to East particularly India in the couple lovers as well as marriages. In all cases, love is obsession and the European man and eastern woman love one another. They then get married, but their wedding continues to be unstable. Because this is the main theme of all her works of fiction, the subject of love and matrimony in this section is examined in Sunetra Gupta’s novels.
