The Search of Women’s Refuge: A Study on Deshpande’s
The Dark Holds No Terror

O. Minu Agnus, M.A., M.Phil., MBA (HR)., Ph.D. Candidate

Marriage as a Refuge

Sashi Deshpande’s The Dark Holds No Terror is about a successful and leading doctor, Saritha. In order to achieve her freedom from the bondage of gender discrimination created by her parental family, she seeks refuge in the social institution called marriage. But this expectation of her gets shattered when she overtakes her husband, Manohar in profession. This forces her egoistic husband to impose sexual cruelties upon her.

To escape from this dark nightmarish brutality, she tries to take refuge in her parental home. This turns to be a curse in disguise because it brings her the cruel childhood memories. She continues the search for the refuge and finally discovers that the real refuge is in the self and not in the social institutions like marriage or parental care. It leads to the further realization that the self is not metaphysical but psychological.
