- Abstract
Social issues like deprived destitution, racial discrimination, homosexuality, ill treatment of women, parochialism, denial of justice and apathy of a callous society towards the poor and the needy are the recurring themes in the novels of Gloria Naylor. The novelist deals with the traumas of the failing man - women relationship and its irreparable impact on the shaping of the society. Nevertheless, the images, the characters and the incidents culminate in a certain way, to ascertain that self-awareness etches the present and the future of fellow beings to be individually independent in American society. This article throws light mainly on two characters, namely, Basil and Eugene. Gloria Naylor reveals the familial and societal life of the rural Afro-Americans in this novel and shows the complexity of their lives.
