Feminine helplessness in Anita Nair’s Mistress
Authors
Subhash Singh
Abstract
The present paper focuses the mental health of
women who attempted to be dutiful wives for their husbands. However, the ego of
a male-dominated culture damaged their sentiments and desires, resulting in
tragedy and helplessness in married life. Radha has embraced her married life
with Shyam and despite the fact that she dislikes Shyam, she has transformed
herself into a typical Hindu wife. She wants to begin tuition, but Shyam won’t
let her. Sadiya is another female protagonist in this patriarchal society who
is struggling with helplessness. Sadiyaa is a teen from an Arab Muslim family.
Sadiya love for Sethu, along with the severe religious regulations that forbade
it, resulted in catastrophe. Anita Nair has addressed themes such as gender
discrimination, social conditioning and feminine helplessness, the husband-wife
relationship and women’s suppression, and sexual exploitation of women both
within and beyond the marital framework.
