The Torment of Confinement and Its Impact on Masculinity: An Analytical Real-Time Case Study with Respect to Emma Donoghue’s Room

2024-03-15T10:51:14+00:00

This research paper titled “The Torment of Confinement and Its Impact on Masculinity: An
Analytical Real-Time Case Study with Respect to Emma Donoghue’s Room, aims at bringing
to light the confined section of persecution to men, while holding an effective comparison
with the literary construct of Emma Donoghue’s seminal novel, Room. This paper analyses
how both a case study of reality and fictional piece of literature travel the same parallel type
of traps, and how trauma is automatically created as a result of each of the two ideologies. It
encapsulates the torment of masculine traits that have almost lost the opportunity to be
defended upon. And this concept stands best expressed through the novel’s central figure
Jack, a little boy, but again a growing up male, who faces a traumatic aftermath from five
years of captivity. While choosing to evolve in the emotional mindset of males like him,
sometimes injustice done to even brave men can cause silenced suffering within them. These
silenced men and their struggle to come out of such trauma, form the corner stones of this
research paper. This study deals with both physical and mental imprisonment of Jack as well

as harassed men in general, and respects their untold misery, thereby stressing upon the key
of equality in justice, and to break the chain of taboo against such cause.

Manifestation of Max Weber’s Theory of Power in R.K. Narayan’s The Dark Room

2024-04-04T07:18:56+00:00

Max Weber is a well-known Sociologist whose theories have impacted different fields of knowledge in the modern era. Weber is one of the few writers who recognize the nature of power in social relations. Weber’s definition of power in society has become an interesting area of study for many researchers. The present paper aims at discovering the power relations in R.K.Narayan’s The Dark Room in the light of Weber’s social theory of power.

When it comes to the perception of power, the concepts of power and domination are closely related. Weber views power as authority and coercion. According to Weber, authoritative power is the act of exercising power which is seen as legitimate because those who are subject to power do so with consent. Coercive power exists when an individual or group has to use force to get what they want – that means you force someone to do something against their wishes. In traditional domination, the basis of power is age-old traditions, long standing beliefs and practices of a society.

There is no society without power and no one can live outside the relations of power. This research paper concentrates on the interplay of power between the major characters and the minor characters and how the notion of the traditional power or authority is established through the actions and words of the characters in the novel. This paper also traces how some characters of the novel tries to free themselves from the implementation of traditional authority or power. Since power is inseparable from our lives, it is necessary that it must be analysed.

Weber has transformed and almost brought a revolution in the sphere of English Studies by writing on the subjects of power, discourse and knowledge giving it distinct shapes that when contemporary trend in language and literature is to be established, one has to depend on Weber.
