Keywords: Abhorrence humiliation differences self-hatred identity

Abstract:
Abhorrence is a recurring theme in literature, often serving as a vehicle for authors to critique societal norms, explore the human psyche, or shed light on systemic oppression. Many writers have imprinted their thoughts about this topic. In Philip Roth's Portnoy's Complaint and Bama's Karukku, abhorrence manifests in distinct ways, shaped by the unique socio-cultural and personal contexts of their authors. This comparative analysis examines how abhorrence is depicted in these two seminal works, focusing on its sources, expression, and resolution, while considering the broader implications on identity, society, and liberation. Through Portnoy, the protagonist in Portnoy's Complaint, Roth tries to bring out the self-hatred substances which makes the character feel for it and develops self-pity. Whereas in Karukku, Bama the writer and the protagonist, encounters many humiliations and is rejected in many causes because of her caste. She is heart broken when she realises that she is push to this status since she in born in a Dalit family. Despite their differences, be it whether it is the country, caste or literature, both novels underscore the transformative potential of confronting abhorrence, whether through humour and introspection or resilience and advocacy.
