| Popis: |
There is no evidence of seeing a woman living freely without the aid of a man completely in contemporary society. The patriarchal society makes a woman live for their life. The novel “Alam” depicts how a woman's life is severely affected by her husband's absence. Sundarambal's character is seen as capable of leading her family on her own even without her husband. She completes her livelihood by plucking vines, fruits and nuts available in the wild and taking them for food and sale. She cultivates and harvests paddy in the rainy season. Badu works in the salt field and works in the absence of her husband all the household chores and making her daughters married to good grooms. Her daughters Vadivampal, Rasampal and Anjammal are trying to make a living by doing all they can in the absence of their father. Women live very boldly in Tamil society when they are devoid of the support of the male leader of the family. The novel “Alam” also realistically portrays the same. Hence, this article decodes the favourable points from a feministic perspective. |
