East West Themeinthe Novelsof Kamala Markandaya– Two Virgins
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
An unabashedly feminist novel Two Virgins from Kamala Markandaya. Saroja is a wonderful narrator, and her often-unusual insights into the world around her resonate. The final chapter drags a bit--and it is a bit reminiscent of the Mysore sections of Nectar in a Sieve--but even then, the interactions between characters, particularly Saroja and Lalitha, jumps out. Markandaya’s novel Two Virgins deals with the theme of moral degradation in our society where man exploits man for selfish purposes. The novel also deals with the east west theme in the sense that there is a contrast between traditionalism and modernism, between city life and village life.
