Vimala. V., M.A., M. Phil., Ph.D. Research Scholar

Introduction

Shashi Deshpande is a celebrated Indian woman novelist who has great concern for the welfare of the women in society. The unspeakable problems of women from their unexplored regions of minds are clearly portrayed by her novels. Her deep insight into woman psychology and perfect understanding of Indian society brought her international recognition. In these light factors, this research paper makes an attempt to bring out the theme of feminist dilemma through Sashi Deshpande’s novel The Dark Holds No Terrors.

Beginning of the Novel

The novel begins with Saru visiting her father after a gap of fifteen years. On hearing through a friend about her mother’s death a month ago Saru wants to visit her father’s house from where she had left as a young woman. Defying her parents she married Manohar. She now returned to it as a well-established doctor and a mother of two children more out of an urge to escape from the hell of life she is passing through. She appears to be confused, hopeless, dull almost thoughtless and a recluse.
