Topic > Indian Literature in A Silence Desire by Sylvia Plath

Indian literature in English has taken a long period of difficulty to evolve and develop. Under British colonial rule we hardly see any rare glimpses of women writing. In 1951, a professor of a Scottish university told one of the Indian literary academics that there are five or six women writers who usually make the most significant contribution to Indian women who write with the same qualities as Jane Austen, George Eliot, Virginia Woolf. , the Brontes as well as with Gaskell. But the women here were just simple stories, even if they couldn't publish. The destroyer of this "traditional pedagogical stereotype structure" was Toru Dutt, an elite woman who wrote both French and English novels. In A Silence Desire, Kamala Markandaya's most ambitious novel dares the invisible and the writings are competent enough to forge here and there. spirals of intricate suggestion that almost seem to bridge the abyss between matter and spirit, doubt and faith. In truth this style provides almost the closest echo as a reader thinks about reading Sylvia Plath. For example, Kamala Das, in Sylvia Plath's poetry, focuses on the "confessional method".

However, this analytical discussion on a particular terrain of feminism focuses on a different writing style, a special mood of expressing the subordinate voices of society. These two discussed poets though occupy a larger portion in English literature, but their works polish the literature and illuminate its brilliance for readers of different eras. Their dynamic approach in literary works is not just a break with the stagnation of traditionalism, rather literature becomes "heteroglosical". Today Sylvia Plath is read under many theories and critics see her from different points of view. From a psychoanalytic point of view it is widely read under the Electra complex. "Dad" is therefore the clear example of this. In the end whatever remains is unharmed and will remain forever.
