Abstract

The Dark Holds No Terror’ Published in 1980, is a book that narrates the story of a woman trapped in a violent marriage. It is a powerful portrayal of a woman`s assertion to survive in a male dominated society.The story line is mainly about the awareness of self that there is more to life than depending on husband or parents and social acceptance. The woman is self- sufficient in all aspects and in this story the protagonist is in the process of searching the identity of her own.

The central character of the story Sarita fights against the traditional patriarchical society. The darkness, the nothingness, the blackness therefore is no more a terror for the protagonist as she is enlightened by the journey for the search of her own self. The marital discord and the disillusionment of an educated woman in a tradition bound‘Indian Society’ and her quest for self identity is the main theme of the novel.It is a totally different novel in the sense that it explodes the myth of man’s unquestionable superiority and the myth of woman being a martyr and a paragon of all virtues.”
