Abstract
Bharti Mukherjee is an accomplished writer who was born and raised
outside of India. Within the current literary scenario, expatriate writings play
a significant role, and Bharti Mukherjee has a unique position. The core complexities
of a woman's psyche could be dramatically portrayed in Mukherjee's second novel,
Wife. It refers to other dimensions of comprehending female marital relationships
in addition to the reproduction of female consciousness. The main character is Dimple
Dasgupta. She had a dream that she might avoid getting married to a neurosurgeon
by getting married to engineer Amit Basu. In the same way that Amit expects Dimple
to be a submissive wife, tradition stifles Dimple's diasporic life. They immigrated
to America and learned how to deal with loneliness and uncertainty. She climbs
to the top of the rope and leaps out of the womb. The story turns tragic as anger
is conveyed within the type of maltreatment. Mukherjee’s female characters are immigrants
who are aware of cultural trauma, but they are also potential women who take the
initiative to forge their own identities by taking charge of their exciting
journeys. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate how Bharati Mukherjee's
Wife depicts the immigrant experience.
