Portrayal Of Women In The Writings Of R.K. Narayan

Abstract

R.K. Narayana is one of the most well-known authors to write in English from India. He was a novelist and a short-story writer. The skillful development of characters is a prominent theme in his works.  He established himself as a leading character artist with his insightful depictions of middle-class households in his works. The protagonists of his novels are middle-class male and female residents of southern India. His works include robust ensembles of male and female protagonists.  Each of his works has an important female character. After India gained its independence, society underwent rapid changes, and a new kind of woman emerged as a powerful influence in all areas. The literary world is still dominated by issues affecting women. Narayan's books explore women's roles at home and in the wider community.
