Abstract 118: J.E.Indra, Research Scholar, Bharathidasan University college for Women, Oorathanadu
A Comparative Study of Margaret Laurence’s A Jest of God and Sashi Deshpande’s The Dark Holds No Terror..
Thematically, Margaret Laurence’s novels and Sashi Deshpande’s Novels are interlaces.  They have been focusing the psychological complexities of female subjectivity as well as the overtly political themes of Collective feminist struggle and women’s community.  Margaret Laurence and sashi Deshpande are modern writers.  Both the writers address.  The questions and problematic relating to ego, sex and love, freedom spiritual identity etc.  Through there modern sensibilities both these writers grapple with contemporary issues and attempt a quest of many themes as marriage individuation, class conflicts, women as wife, sister mother and woman as a human being and not as a sex thing.  Though Laurence and sashi Deshpande have evolved entirely in diverse socio - cultural and literary milieu, these is a great deal of inter relatedness.  Both there novelists have some point of view of the common themes.  This paper is an exploration of Laurence’s and sashi’s heroines’ quest for the self selves.
