  • Abstract:
  • This research paper explores the elements of psychological realism and social commentary in the use of stream of consciousness narratives in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things and Shashi Deshpande’s That Long Silence. The paper focuses on the portrayal of gender roles, family issues, and the social narratives in both the novels, through a comparative analysis, and investigates how the authors use stream of consciousness to unveil the inner lives of their characters to illuminate broader social issues. Narrations in both the novels play significant part in navigating the characters personal journey within the larger social context. The inner workings of their characters’ minds reveal their thoughts, emotions of the current and the past memories forming a resonance in reflections of present experiences. Roy’s narratives give more expansive treatment of social and political issues as they delineate huge impact on individual lives whereas Deshpande focuses more on psychological introspection, narrowly deals the social structures.
