FEMININE SENSIBILITY IN ANITA DESAI’S “CLEAR LIGHT OF DAY”

Abstract

As a four-dimensional novel, Clear Light of Day may be analysed. It's an absurdist book in the vein of 
Domestic. It's a study of how memories work. Affection is the focus of this book. Great love and 
devotion are shown between the four main characters: Bim (the narrator), Tara (Baba), and Raja (Raja). 
This tale effectively captures the agony of a sensitive young lady torn between activity and silence. In 
her works, Anita Desai has shown the lives of the female characters and how they fight for an 
independent living in a patriarchal society with utmost clarity. Feminism's "Clear Light of Day" shines a 
bright light on society's patriarchal attitude toward women.
