Shobha De's Ironic Representation of a Conflict of Man-Woman Relationship

Dr. Kirti Dorshetwar

Abstract: Literature is indeed the most explicit record of the human spirit which shapes the complex ways in which men and women organize themselves, their interpersonal relationship and their perception of the socio-cultural reality. But changes in socio-economic conditions have changed our patriarchal attitude to gender and this contemporary change is reflected in literature too. De?s objective is to place sex in the priority.

Keywords: Explicit, socio-cultural, patriarchal, contemporary, perception
