Title

EXPLORING GENDER INEQUALITY AND MAKING OF THE GENDER IN THE LITERARY CONTEXT: A STUDY OF SELECTED FEMALE PROTAGONISTS

Authors

Abstract

Abstract As we all know that literature is the mirror of our society. It portrays society in all its aspects such as social, political, historical and cultural. Literature also plays a great role to define or elevate our society. Thus the concept of gender inequality does not remain untouched in literary works also. Gender in itself is grossly misunderstood word. The moment this word is spoken, one arrives at the concept of weaker sex present in society i.e. the female. There is difference between sex and gender. Sex is a biological phenomenon while gender is socially constructed. The purpose of the present paper is to explore the concept of gender inequality through the example of literary works. In literature also women are portrayed as a secondary object, just as God has created them only to support the males. If we analyze the maxim- “Behind every successful man there is a woman” we find that in our literature also which is full of such maxims females are portrayed behind the males, not ahead or even by side. Women are portrayed in ‘lack’ and ‘other’ terms. Derogatory language is used in portraying some female characters. Thus it would be valuable to explore the gender inequality in literary context.

Key Words

inequality, gender, biasness, Socio-political , socialization, behavioral code, exploited
