The Perils in the Pursuit of Happiness in Anita Desai’s “Fasting, Feasting”
Patriarchal domesticity. Secondary status, matchless stature, privilege, deprivation, consciousness.
The theme of women has always been and remains one of the most important topics in literature and has paved ways for authors to question dominant social institutions. This theme is rightly considered by researchers as the key to understanding the women’s place in society, her role in social progress and of her rights and freedoms. Anita Desai is one of the noticeable writers in Indian English who has created a matchless stature in Indian English fiction by focusing on the mental torment and trauma faced by the women protagonists with the difference. “Fasting, Feasting” is one such venture of her that depicts a simple story of an Indian family which persists on the questions of the women’s role within and outside the walls of patriarchal domesticity. This paper aims to evaluate how patriarchy functions through conquest of women who have been accorded a secondary status.
