Patriarchal Undercurrents in Sudha Murthy’s House of Cards

Author(s) MOHAMMED ZAINAB

Abstract The present research paper explores the patriarchal undercurrents in Sudha Murthy’s House of Cards, a novel that highlighted the complexities of family dynamics, social expectations, and gender roles. Through the portrayal of its female protagonist, the plot unveils the subtle yet pervasive influence of patriarchy in shaping personal identities and societal norms. The story highlights how patriarchal values govern not only familial relationships but also dictate the choices and limitations placed on women, often confining them to predefined roles of sacrifice and submission. By examining the protagonist’s struggles within a patriarchal framework, the paper demonstrates how Murthy critiques the social structures that perpetuate gender inequality, while also showcasing moments of resistance and empowerment. The paper also argues that while the narrative portrays the constraints of patriarchal norms, it also subtly hints at the possibility of breaking free from them, offering a nuanced commentary on the evolving role of women in a patriarchal world.
