Dominance of Queer Theory in Manju Kapur's A Married Woman

Author(s) K.Viji, V.Jaisre
Country India
Abstract "A Married Woman," by Manju Kapur's novel, is a literary work that intricately weaves the threads of complex human emotions, societal norms, and the exploration of identity and sexuality. This article delves into the dominance of queer theory within Kapur's narrative, showcasing how the author employs this theoretical framework to dissect the lives of her characters. By employing queer theory, Kapur examines how societal constructs impact the lives of her protagonists, Astha and Peeplika, as they navigate the traditional roles and expectations thrust upon them as married women. This article explores how queer theory provides a lens through which to analyze themes of desire, resistance, and agency, ultimately shedding light on the characters' attempts to break free from the confines of heteronormative structures. Kapur's "A Married Woman" emerges as a powerful literary testament to the enduring influence of queer theory in contemporary Indian literature, unravelling the complexities of human relationships and the ongoing struggle for self-discovery and acceptance in a world shaped by convention.
