Review The Portrayal of Relationships in Gauri Deshpande’s ‘The Lackadaisical sweeper’
Aparna
Mahajan
This article aims to study and interpret the
background of the interpersonal relationships focusing on the female
protagonists in the collection of Gauri Deshpande’s short stories
titled ‘‘The Lackadaisical sweeper.’ Gauri Deshpande has surveyed a
variety of shades in man woman relationships, their thoughts,
frustrations and the truth lying at the background of all this.
Gauri is a renowned and distinguished author and a poet in Marathi
and English literature. Her untraditional manner of presenting the
situation and the relationships, her frank and bold yet sensitive
narration of the stories attract the readers. Here an effort has
been made by Aparna Mahajan to explore the intricacies of the short
stories, taking the feminist approach as the touchstone. It is also
an effort to analyze the content and the technical aspects of the
book. The context, setting, characters, plot, literary devices, and
themes give insight into the author’s perspective and bias. |
