Kamala Markandaya's Women through Male Narration

This article attempts to deconstruct some male narrations from Kamala Markandaya’s novels in order to trace out the forms of the image of women. Markandaya’s male characters show their dominance over women but her women characters pierce the needle into balloon of their ego and air comes out. Her male characters realize their incapability in running home smoothly. First they are proud but later on they become meek and submissive to the women who make them understand that they are not commodities.
