Rhys’ female protagonist in Wide Sargasso Sea, Antoinette, is alienated and deprived of her original identity in race and class. The hegemonic process of colonial patriarchy embedded in the victimization of the female subject objectifies her through her double marginalization at the hands of colonial apparatus and patriarchy. Her decolonizing outburst against double colonization, when expressed through an unconventional language, is viewed as an act of madness by the society. This research routes its argument through the so-called sanity of a societal structure rooted in the dispensation of colonial atrocity which, as a consequence, gives rise to mental imbalance (madness) of the female protagonist. This study, located in the qualitative paradigm, develops its methodology on the qualitativ...

The major area of the dissertation aims to argue that Xingjian’s novel Soul Mountain exhibits and attains the Romantic attributes under the pretense of Post- Modern style; therefore stylistic diversity contributes to express the depth of artist’s Romantic quest. This explorative study proves that the use of fissured structure, narration and split pronouns is the authorial subversive strategy to hit upon the schizoid self of the Confucianist. Therefore the fragmented and disseminated plot is endemic for the Romantic revolutionist to search for self-fulfillment and self-actualization. Moreover the vast canvass of the novel is knitted on the land of beauteous natural surroundings owing to which the author’s picturesqueness and bucolic description enables Soul Mountain to attain the Romantic ecological characteristics. As against ...

The delegacy of the settled acculturations and the social orders by the advocates of colonialism ... more The delegacy of the settled acculturations and the social orders by the advocates of colonialism has been an area under discussion of colossal grandness, both to truster and postcolonial detractors and authors. The colonialist discourses and pennings incline to contrive the Denizens and the Denizen mores as prescriptive measures. The occupied diversity is demoed as be a short of or freakishness. The Brit authors and disparager fed on the Orientalist discussions, have been contriving their own heritage and acculturation as higher, and presenting the Indians as inferior. E.M. Forster has limned the colonialist mythos of the eminence of Caucasian and its way of life and the erected lowliness of India and the Indians in "A Passage to India". This bailiwick aimed to scrutinize the op of the colonialist dogma in "A Passage to India", to indicate that Forster destined to strengthen the colonialist thought of transcendency, with the illustration of India and people of India as pigeonholes and marginalised natives and society in his "A Passage to India". The bailiwick also sought to inspect the nexus 'tween culture and imperialism and the concomitant apery and hybridism amidst the Indian people and the exploitation of the distinctiveness of the Indian people. This research was founded on the scrutinize of the text of the novel under the view of Postcolonial theories. The work detected that novel akin to any colonial discourse favored the Colonizers and the European conventions and philosophies while the Indian people and their mores were portrayed as toerag and lower stamps.
