- Abstract
Women are the most dynamic and powerful creation of God. William Golding states, I think women are foolish to pretend they are equal to men, they are far superior and always have been... Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her... Ghosh's women characters fit into Golding's definition, by becoming the very essence of male characters. They are like phoenix which sprouts wings from stereotype notion of dependability to an independent life. They fight against the miseries of the world like subjugation, widowhood, loneliness and injustice. They play a vital role in deciding the move of other characters. This paper aims at portraying the role of women in the life of the protagonist. Ghosh's women characters not only influence men but also design their destiny. They are not just revolutionaries but also regenerators of life.
