Abstract

Literature has always acted as a mirror and a reflection of our society. The condition of women in our society has always been a matter of concern. Gita Hariharan in her ‘The Thousand faces of Night,’ sharply carves the predicament of women. Not only does she sketch how the society has coerced women to be puppets in the hands of their male guardians, but also churns out the way elder generation of women has accepted it as their fate and how women themselves have romanticized their fate which they conveniently impose on the Gen Z and Gen X girls who are young and vivacious in their thoughts, words, and deeds. The paper aims to explore the contrast Gita Hariharan has portrayed among three generation of women in her novel.
