Conflicts and Resolutions of Virmati and the Exploitation of Women in a Patriarchal Society in Manju Kapur's 'Difficult Daughters': A Critique

Author(s) K. Mohan, R. V. Jayanth Kasyap
Country India
Abstract This paper examines the portrayal of conflicts and resolutions experienced by women within a patriarchal society as depicted in Manju Kapur's novel "Difficult Daughters." Kapur, a prominent Indian Punjabi novelist, presents a poignant narrative that delves into the struggles of characters like Virmati, whose yearning for love clashes with societal expectations. Burdened by the pressures of tradition, Virmati finds herself entangled in a relationship with Professor Harish Chandra, which ultimately leads her to become his second wife, despite feelings of humiliation and dishonor. Through Virmati's story, Kapur sheds light on the complexities of marriage and the vulnerability of women in abusive relationships. This analysis contributes to the broader conversation on gender dynamics and societal norms, emphasizing the need to challenge entrenched patriarchal structures and advocate for women's empowerment and autonomy.
Keywords Difficult Daughters, Patriarchy, Gender dynamics, Abusive relationships, Women's empowerment.
