A Critical Study of Feminism In “The Palace of Illusions” By Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Keywords:
Divakaruni, The Palace of Illusions Feminism, culture, history, systemAbstract
Orally, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana of India are passed down from one generation to the next. The historical backdrop of these epic tales, which have been created in accordance with the philosophies of succeeding generations, may be used to infer various ideologies. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, writing in the tradition of fictionalised retellings of classic tales, focuses on the events of the Mahabharata in a novel written from Draupadi's perspective. The majority of the study in this article is focused on Divakaruni's theatrical recreation, "The Palace of Illusions," which serves as its focal point.
