The Rejection to Label Mother as a Deviant

apart from running off with her there’s no scandal. You’re not about to be an uncle. Not yet, anyway. Too many children are victims of our defective social structure. This needs first to be fixed Lahiri, 2013: 46. The attitude of rejection social’s construct about marriage is the evidence that Gauri trying to prove that she had a precise and clear idea about a child-free marriage and a social pressure- free marriage. Gauri and her in laws witnessed Udayan’s body shot in cold blood. The police dragged Udayan’s body after they shot him. The soldiers dragged his body by the legs, then tossed him into the back of the van Lahiri, 2013: 105. That experience haunted Gauri in the future and affected her. Gauri did not have any support from the Mitras to face the reality that her husband is dead and she is pregnant with his baby. Gauri felt estranged and tired to be a good daughter in law in the Mitra’s house. Soon Subhash came to understand that his parents received Gauri coldly and treated her badly because the marriage was not an arranged one. His parents refused to talk to her or acknowledge her presence in the house. Subhash’s mother had tried to dissuade him from marrying Gauri. At first Gauri did not know that she was pregnant with Udayan’s baby. Her recklessness was considered as a silly mistake to Bijoli Mitra, Gauri’s mother in law. Gauri liked to observe someone. Gauri observed Subhash. She could not ignore that obvious facts reminded her of Udayans presence. Almost the exact pitch and manner of speaking. This was the deepest and most startling proof of their fraternity. For a moment she allowed this isolated aspect of Udayan , preserved and replicated in Subhashs throat, to travel back to her Lahiri, 2013: 122. She left Tollygunge where she had never felt welcome, where she had gone only for Udayan. She began to explore her neighborhood and fascinated with anything new. Gauri did not want anyone to know this, they had cut their ties with her. They had deemed her second marriage unchaste. She married Subhash as a means of staying connected to Udayan. It was useless to save a single earring when the other half of the pair was lost Lahiri, 2013: 128. Initially she tried to mingle with the mixed Indian community: for instance, she was happy to mix with other women of the University at the dinner party of Narasimhan and Kate. Later she withdrew saying she did not have anything in common with them. Subhash found it quite disturbing when she cut her hair short, dramatically altering her face and adopted the American style of dressing. She told Subhash that “I have nothing in common with them” Lahiri, 2013: 140 and “I was tired of those” Lahiri, 2013: 141, those statement showed that she was reluctant to adapt the new community in her neighborhood. As she began to get bored, she began to explore other parts of the campus, wandering in and out. She’d intended to remain anonymous, to go unnoticed. Certain irrational fears haunted Gauri before and after the birth of Bela, her child. She felt Bela was her child and Udayans, and Subhash’s help was simply playing a part. After years passed, Gauri often left Bela alone leaving her engaged while she took a walk alone. The five minutes doubled to ten. Sometimes a bit more PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
