Dr. Binu Anitha Joseph

Abstract :

 Sivasankari is a prolific Tamil authoress who has written with great awareness on social issues and problems. She is a recipient of several awards and nationally recognized writer. Deception is a novel which portrays the deceit of an Indian woman. Giridhar and Durga are the two characters who were leading a fruitful and happy married life with two children until Giridhar is sent to the U.K. on work. Durga endures letters from Giridhar dry up. Durga battles her fears and pain alone. A journey for truth. She finally reaches U.S along with her children to ensure the truth of the letter. The shocked and arrogant Giridhar considered her arrival as an ill–mannered behaviour. She and the children were insulted as intruders and beggars, interrupting his privacy. He offers her enough money from Linda for their survival and sustenance. She refused all his offers and wanted to convince her children that she was not befooling them as they were anxiously waiting for the arrival of their father from U.K. Durga was courageous enough to confront the deceit of her husband and lead a committed life for her children. Passionate life to cowardice, promotion and fame to deception, unfulfilled desires to deception, justifying mistakes to deception, realization of reality and factors of deception can successfully found in the novel. We come across transformation of noble, dutiful, oken and shattered women to a bold and courageous personality
