Abstract

The aim of this research paper is to study Jaya’s quest for identity in Shashi Deshpande’s novel, That Long Silence. The novelist focuses on the theme of gender-differentiation and domination of the male categories, along with the silence and surrender to which a woman is subjected in our society. The author reveals an intriguing image of an ordinary middle class educated woman namely Jaya, a housewife, who is recurrently perceived to be in search of her own identity. In this novel Shashi Deshpande gives us an extraordinarily accomplished portrayal of a woman trying to erase a 'long silence' begun in childhood and rooted in herself and in the constraints of her life.
