An Exploration of Female Psyche in Anita Desai’s Fire on the Mountain and Fasting, Feasting

Author(s) Rashmi Jain, Priya Singh
Country India
Abstract Anita Desai is considered one of the most prominent novelists in Indian Writing in English. Desai is well known for her nuanced and poignant portrayal of contemporary women and their psyche in the patriarchal social set up of India. Desai explored the themes of female identity, culture, family dynamics, relationships, social hierarchy, class structure, tradition and psyche of contemporary Indian women through her novels. She is known worldwide for novels like Fire on the Mountain (1977), Clear Light of Day (1980), In Custody (1984), Fasting, Feasting (1999) etc. where she has explored the complexities of Indian society and problems faced by women in patriarchal set up. Her novels offer a profound exploration of the inner world of women, delving into the complexities of their emotions and struggle. Through a nuanced analysis of her Sahitya Akademi Award winning novel Fire on the Mountain and Fasting, Feasting, this paper tries the uncover the web of complex thoughts and feelings of the female characters that shape their psyche. Through her novels, one can gain an insight into the cultural and societal expectations that are expected from women in the patriarchal setup which directly influence their identity and thoughts and how they protest to create a path breaking identity for themselves. Desai’s female characters present their innermost turmoil by exposing their psyche.
