Abstract Immigration, exile, and expatriation are all associated with home, identity, nostalgia, memory, and solitude in the modern period. Anita Desai and Bharati Mukherjee are two contemporary Indian English writers in the twenty-first century; they also talked about their psyche through the wife protagonist Dimple and Cry the Peacock protagonist Maya. They are dealing with mental conditions and a feeling of suffrage. Maya's psychological situation is manifested in Cry, the Peacock. Desai's heroine has very well examined the inner world of a woman, her rage, frustration, and the storm raging inside her head and heart. The novelist's interest in Maya's freedom is evident on nearly every page of the narrative. Instead of focusing solely on the exterior, she frequently delves into her primary characters' interior or inner psychology. She is an expert at writing psychological novels. She understands how to delve into the psychic depths of her primary characters, as well as analyze and study their motivations in depth. The novelist is widely regarded as a forerunner in the field of psychoanalytic research. This paper analyses Bharati Mukherjee's novel 'Wife' and Anita Desai’s Cry, the peacock as a tragedy caused by unfulfilled dreams. Dimple, the protagonist of "Wife,' appears from the beginning as a person who lives in an imaginary world, beyond reality; she dreams of a perfect husband and a perfect life, but when her dreams are not fulfilled, she murders her husband, believing that no one will catch her for murder, as she has seen in most serials. The paper focuses on the psychoanalysis study of Dimple and Maya.
