The position of women in women's writings in the light of feminist consciousness: Perspectives on the Dahan novels of the last decade of the 20th century/ নারীচেতনাবাদের আলোকে নারীর কলমে নারীদের অবস্থান : প্রেক্ষিত বিশ শতকের শেষ দশকের 'দহন' উপন্যাস

Abstract

Currently, women are neglected, oppressed, deprived, and exploited in the social sphere. However, of course, feminism does not mean the suffering of women, the humiliation of women, the list of their oppression, and the way out of this situation is 'feminism'. However, not only women are aware of women's rights, several men have also spoken out in this movement. However, women definitely need more awareness. After enduring neglect for a long time, women are able to respond to some extent. However, it goes without saying that this protest movement may have been formed since the beginning of patriarchy, but it could never be organized or it was not known by any specific name. Because when a person's back is completely against the wall, he makes a last effort to push away the opposition coming from the front, and this is where 'feminism' may begin. Just as women are opposing oppression against him, similarly, the level of oppression against women has changed over the ages through the evolution of men. In the era of Ramayana, Sita had to undergo the ordeal of fire to dispel her husband's suspicions. Even today, women have to undergo the ordeal of fire, both at home and outside.

           In the context of feminist narrative theory discussion, it is worth mentioning that narrative theory is not limited to the discussion of written narratives only. Narrative theory is mainly built on the basis of organizational discussion. The study of narrative theory is mainly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary. Various literary and non-literary subjects, as well as discussions about the narratology of various narratives and discussions about what has not become a narrative have become part of narrative theory. Cinema, theater, drama, poetry, stories, advertisements, history, narrative is generally not seen in these, but it is worth mentioning that narrative is very present in all subjects. However, it is quite difficult to analyze feminist narrative exactly in this frame. However, it is not impossible. This type of definition has seen the predominance of the past tense. Therefore, in the context of feminist narrative, in the analysis of this definition, it can be said that gender inequality has been created since ancient times and its origin was mainly in the post-Aryan era. Because in the pre-Aryan era, our society was matriarchal. After the arrival of the Aryans, a terrible change occurred in the entire system, the invasion of patriarchy began. Women have not been able to free themselves from this invasion and colonialism even today. This characteristic is reflected in the narrative. Therefore, feminist consciousness is no longer limited to a single literary theory. It has become part of the Interdisciplinary Approach.
