Title

PRISON: A SAFE HOUSE FOR AFGHANI WOMEN: A FEMINIST ANALYSIS OF NADIA HASHIMI'S 'A HOUSE WITHOUT WINDOWS'

Authors

Abstract

Abstract The title 'A House without Windows' is a visual metaphor for prison. Nadia Hashimi's novel decodes the various layers of captivity in which women are bound in Afghanistan. They suffer innumerable violent acts at the hands of the men in their families. Any attempt to mend the laws to benefit women is seen as losing control over them. The bias between men and women, in the eye of the law, is disturbingly evident. Under such situations, when a woman finally ends up in jail, even if the crime has been committed in self-defence, she is both restricted and rescued. Her body and mind become free from the constant agony of violence and molestation. This paper is an attempt to study the psychological impact of prison on women in Hashimi's text. The research is an inquiry into the difference in the living conditions of women in their houses and their 'A House Without Windows'. Women in Hashimi's text also choose silence over justification as their words are futile in the eyes of law. It is interesting to analyze how Hashimi's characters use silence as a weapon. And finally, the current work is an introspection into Hashimi's style of writing. Hashimi's use of subjective narration for the representation of Afghan women is very different from western ideas and theories of feminism. It will be a sincere attempt of this study to deconstruct the stereotypical image of Middle Eastern women as weak and pathetic and represent their strengths as seen by writers like Hashimi.
