Abstract
The issue of alienation in modern society and literature is a widely accepted reality. In this research paper the focus is on an individual’s problems in adjusting to society and human relationships. Modern era has seen, faced, and are still suffering from the pangs which are the result of the clash between man’s self-centered activities and nature’s continuous effort to teach him a lesson. Modern people have made a mess of his life by running after the physical voluptuousness and thrown himself on the verge of emotional, moral, and psychological bankruptcy. Literature, being a faithful mirror of life, thoughtfully replicates this gloomy situation. The central theme of Namita Gokhale’s novels is the existential dilemma of woman as an individual. An attempt has been made in this paper to talk about the emotional delineation of her female characters, expressly in relation to alienation in married life in her novels.
