Reflection of Feminine Plight in Transgender Literature-A Critical Study of Kamala Das's Dance Of The Eunuchs

<p>Kamala Das was a part of that generation of Indian writers whose work centred on<br>personal rather than colonial experiences, and her short stories, poetry, memoirs, and essays<br>brought her respect and notoriety in equal measures. Das wrote both in English (mostly<br>poetry) and,Malayalam language . The present research paper –Reflection of feminine plight<br>in transgender literature reflects the agony of transgender who have the qualities of women<br>in them but mother Nature did not give them the responsibility of creation. The Poem “The<br>Dance of the Eunuchs” deals with the theme of unfulfilled love. Kamala Das is one of the<br>most distinctive and original Indian poets writing in English. In this poem, she finds an<br>objective correlative in the dance of the eunuchs to represent the suppressed desire within. In<br>fact, the Dance of the Eunuchs is a dance of the sterile, and therefore, the unfulfilled and<br>unquenchable love of the woman in the poetess.</p>
