Abstract	“The human heart likes a little disorder in its geometry” - Anita Desai Anita Desai’s novels influence the mental health and psychological aspects of human beings. As a first and primary psychological writer of Indian– American English, Desai has portrayed the personal struggle met by her characters. Desai’s characters are good and noble and they are very loyal to their families and they love and very loyal to the customs of the society. Desai has created the characters by inciting their personal feelings which is different from person to person. Most of her lady characters experiences unconscious feelings, superstitious knowledge, memories, and thoughts. Psychic disorders create a negative impact on people. Desai has introduced good and noble characters in her novels. Even the emotionally affected characters do not be a bad model for the world. Her female characters are from very rich families and are highly educated. Their family members are also educated and they have very good educational as well as wealthy background. But if we examine the characters, individually they can’t meet their expectations as a result personally they are leading an unhappy life. But they won’t it outwardly. As a unique writer Desai portrays the importance for the familial duties of women. She has also defines the importance of characters. Desai's characters are constant and very bold in not to give up the realities. They respect the feelings of the family members, elders, friends, including pets and animals. Unfortunately, illusions, astrology, and psychology revolve around her women characters. They are affected by their own disappointments and psychological problems. That's how the unfortunate things happen in their life. This paper examines the chief protagonist of Cry the Peacock, Maya. Basically a pampered well educated woman but has psychodynamic impact in her life. Even though she has been affected with some inner problems and faces major discomforts, she does not spoil her character or become a bad example for the society like how the people spoil the society and culture at present. The inner feelings of Maya turn into a great misfortune for her own personal life. Keywords: psychodynamic, persistent, illusion, misfortune
