Abstract
THE SUBJUGATION OF WOMEN CHARACTERS IN KHALID HOSSEINI’S NOVEL, A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS
Dr. Shadan Jafri
Volume: 5 Issue: 3 2015
Abstract:
The sufferings and oppression of women have perpetually been a popular theme as seen in various literary works. Khalid Hosseini’s novel ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ depicts the entangled diegesis of two Afghani women, Mariam and Laila. They both were in marital relationship with same obstinate man Rasheed. Hosseini’s women characters have been the epitome of much oppressed Afghan femininehood. This paper attempts to probe into the persona and lifestyles of these women characters. It tries to provide expression to the wordless women under the grasp of patriarchy, religious and political domination and their freedom.
