http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/237
<p>American literature, a rich tapestry woven with diverse narratives, reflects the complexities of the American experience, exploring themes of aspiration, disillusionment, and resilience. Arthur Miller, a towering figure in American theatre, uses his poignant narratives to mirror societal struggles, particularly evident in Death of a Salesman, a classic that unravels the layers of the American Dream. This paper intricately examines the enduring relevance of traumatic narratives in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, with a profound focus on the poignant journey of Willy Loman. Connecting Willy’s struggles to contemporary societal challenges, the research not only dissects the thematic undercurrents of shattered dreams but also sheds light on the complex character of Willy Loman. The analysis reveals how his character embodies the universal human struggle for fulfilment and offers solutions rooted in empathy, resilience, and mental health awareness. By bridging the historical context of the play with present-day issues, the research emphasises the perpetual impact of the American experience and Willy Loman’s role as a symbolic figure in exploring the intricacies of the human condition.</p>M.SarahDr.Mary Sandra Quintal

2024-03-172024-03-1751The Torment of Confinement and Its Impact on Masculinity: An Analytical Real-Time Case Study with Respect to Emma Donoghue’s Room
http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/234
<p>This research paper titled “The Torment of Confinement and Its Impact on Masculinity: An<br>Analytical Real-Time Case Study with Respect to Emma Donoghue’s Room, aims at bringing<br>to light the confined section of persecution to men, while holding an effective comparison<br>with the literary construct of Emma Donoghue’s seminal novel, Room. This paper analyses<br>how both a case study of reality and fictional piece of literature travel the same parallel type<br>of traps, and how trauma is automatically created as a result of each of the two ideologies. It<br>encapsulates the torment of masculine traits that have almost lost the opportunity to be<br>defended upon. And this concept stands best expressed through the novel’s central figure<br>Jack, a little boy, but again a growing up male, who faces a traumatic aftermath from five<br>years of captivity. While choosing to evolve in the emotional mindset of males like him,<br>sometimes injustice done to even brave men can cause silenced suffering within them. These<br>silenced men and their struggle to come out of such trauma, form the corner stones of this<br>research paper. This study deals with both physical and mental imprisonment of Jack as well</p> <p>as harassed men in general, and respects their untold misery, thereby stressing upon the key<br>of equality in justice, and to break the chain of taboo against such cause.</p>Christy Jenifer SDr. C.

http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/244
<p>The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells delves into the theme of trauma as it unfolds through the protagonist, Griffin, who undergoes a transformative scientific experiment, rendering him invisible. This metamorphosis instigates profound psychological and emotional challenges, marked by themes of isolation, alienation, and identity loss. Griffin’s invisible state amplifies his struggle, manifesting in violent outbursts and heightened paranoia due to the constant threat of discovery. The narrative serves as an exploration of the trauma inflicted upon an individual grappling with the consequences of unchecked scientific ambition. The invisible condition becomes a metaphor for the isolation and detachment experienced by those who endure psychological trauma. Wells uses Griffin’s plight to underscore the ethical quandaries of scientific experimentation, questioning the boundaries of human knowledge and the potential cost of pursuing advancements without regard for the impact on individuals. The novel, thus, becomes a cautionary tale about the profound and multifaceted trauma that can emerge from the intersection of scientific curiosity and the human condition.</p>J. Jenifer

2024-03-172024-03-1751Food - The Replica Of One’s Psyche
http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/240
<p>The fields of food studies have broadened to incorporate human gastronomy, culinary history, and the arts and humanities. In literature, food may represent many different things, such as power or social status, emotion, religion, culture, identity, family or relationships, gender, sexuality, wealth, and group identity. Food perception and consumption can be influenced by emotions. Emotions are intricately linked to choices in food, and the cultural ritual of eating, as well as to other emotional and physical repercussions. Emotional eating is a food habit that can be used as a projection of different coping mechanisms for emotions. Additionally, consuming more food under the emotional and psychological stress may be hazardous to one’s health. Studies have shown that both good and negative emotions can have an impact on how much food is consumed and women are more prone to develop eating disorders. In Margaret Atwood’s novel The Edible Woman, we find that the Protagonist develops food aversion because of an unhappy relationship with her fiancé and it worsens her bodily condition as she is one of the victims in a patriarchal society. This paper aims to change the people’s mindset of considering food just as a source of energy and to make them accept that food represents them and their emotions by employing psychological theories.</p>S.Ashifa BarjanaDr. H.

http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/241
<p>Diasporic writing depicts the experience of immigrants, the feeling of nostalgia and the quest for identity through different narrative techniques. One such technique is comparing the past experiences with the present. This technique helps the writer to stay connected with his/her homeland. Rohinton Mistry, an Indian- Canadian writer, skilfully delineates the narrator’s feeling of nostalgia and sense of belonging by narrating his past experiences in the short story “Swimming Lessons”. The narrator Kersi Boyce in “Swimming Lessons” describes his childhood days in Firozsha Baag reflecting his connection with the past. Some of his experiences as an immigrant in Canada prompt him to contemplate his cultural and societal roots. Past memories of Kersi Boyce is used as a tool to express the dilemma of acceptance and assimilation. This paper aims to demonstrate the impact of autobiographical memory and collective memory in tracing the experiences of immigrants.</p>Rizwana Sanofar RDr. S. Azariah Kirubakaran

<p>The current study aims to provide light on Karnad&#39;s usage of myth in several plays.<br>Even in this modern day, the word &quot;myth&quot; may remain an obstacle for certain readers. Karnad<br>breathes fresh life into the legendary beings through his modern takes on character<br>development and storytelling, as well as his distinctive approach to bringing his plays&#39;<br>concepts to life.

2024-02-152024-02-1551A study of trauma in the select novels of Sahar Khalifeh’s The Inheritance and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis
http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/220
<p>This paper examines the exile existence of an individual in their own land in Sahar Khalifeh&#39;s<br>novel The Inheritance. Fact and fiction coexist as a post-Oslo portrait of life in Ghaza is painted,<br>with a particular emphasis on the lives of four Palestinian women. The limitation on their lives<br>caused by the Israeli occupation is akin to the outmoded social demands on them. Khalifeh<br>condemns both colonial military forces and the similarly oppressive patriarchal rules that<br>Palestinian women are subjected to twice: first as women in patriarchal societies, and then as<br>politically colonised women. The study aims to dissect Khalifeh&#39;s portrayal of political realities<br>and the ways in which they intersect with the characters&#39; personal journeys and Persepolis<br>portrayal of a captivating glimpse into the tumultuous period of the Islamic Revolution in Iran<br>during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The narrative revolves around Marjane, a spirited and<br>modern girl, navigating the profound impact of war, religious extremism, and societal<br>transformations on the Iranian populace, with a particular focus on women. Marjane&#39;s coming-<br>of-age story unfolds against the backdrop of the toppling of the Shah of Iran, the rise of an<br>authoritarian fundamentalist dictatorship, and the tragic Iran-Iraq war.<br>The trauma has been visualized as aiming to unravel the intricate relationship between politics<br>and personal identity in both the novels of Sahar Khalifeh’s The Inheritance and Marjane<br>Satrapi’s Persepolis, shedding light on the broader socio-political landscape of the Palestinian<br>experience and experiences growing up during the Islamic rebellion in Iran and the effects of<br>conflict and religious fundamentalism on Iranians, particularly women.</p>Shivanand Bande

http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/257
<p>The objective of this abstract, "Journeys Beyond Colonization: Unveiling Postcolonial Perspectives in Sleeping on Jupiter by Anuradha Roy," is to give a summary of the postcolonial themes that are covered in the book. Through her proficient narrative weaving, Anuradha Roy explores the nuances of trauma, identity, and change in culture in the wake of colonization. The story takes place in the made-up seaside town of Jarmuli, which acts as a microcosm for larger post-colonial experiences in India. The characters negotiate the residual impacts of colonialism while adjusting to postcolonial India's changing circumstances. The book offers a sophisticated examination of the postcolonial environment while addressing the cultural and historical context of India. The conflict between tradition and modernity, religious diversity, and the enduring impact of colonial legacies are among the major themes. Roy deftly explores how deeply rooted conventions from the colonial past shape societal expectations, particularly for women. As they navigate between their individual pasts and the shared recollections of a country emerging from colonial rule, the characters serve as vehicles for an examination of the complexities of postcolonial identity. The seaside town itself, which is referred to as a place of pilgrimage, takes on symbolic meaning in relation to spiritual quests and the search for purpose in a postcolonial society. The book takes readers on a deep dive into the postcolonial world, encouraging contemplation on the intricacies of identity, the complex relationship of power relations, and the fortitude of individuals and groups in the face of adversity<em>. </em></p>J.

2024-03-172024-03-1751Metamorphosis of Dostoevsky’s Men: From Innocence to Savagery
http://www.jmcjarj.org/index.php/jarj/article/view/258
<p>The subject of men's mental and emotional well-being is a crucial aspect that often goes overlooked in the era of flourishing feminism. Literature has long explored the theme of psychological transformation, especially in male characters. During the 19th century, Russia underwent significant changes in social, political, and cultural aspects, resulting in the transformation of the country. One of the significant factors contributing to this transformation was the impact of Western ideologies and philosophies that began to spread in Russia. Men who were exposed to these ideas began to question traditional gender roles and expectations, leading to a redefinition of masculinity. This article aims to study the significance of analyzing the psychological metamorphosis of men through the lens of Fyodor Dostoevsky's male characters. Dostoevsky, an eminent Russian author, is widely acclaimed for his literary works that delve into the complexities of human nature. His novels, such as "Crime and Punishment" and "The Idiot," are notable for their intricate character development, particularly concerning male characters. This article examines two of Dostoevsky's male characters, Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov from "Crime and Punishment" and Parfyon Semyonovitch Rogozin from "The Idiot" to illustrate how their psychological metamorphosis reflects the influence of societal and cultural context that leads to savagery.</p>Yamini.
