Neo–rich Women in Shobha De’s Socialite Evenings – A Feminist Approach

V. Shoba, Dr. P. Nagaraj

Abstract :

Shobha De is one of the most absorbing novelists whose works are a shocking revelation of the film world. Her work Socialite Evenings (1989) examines how the women eak the traditional norms and how the society is westernized in the context of changing social values and customs. The novel portrays Karuna and Anjali, as women who are just a square peg in a round hole in the society of traditional conventions. One finds Karuna liking to live an extravagant life. So she chose Anjali as her role model, a socialite and the portal of the world to which she longs for. After marriage Karuna had to lead a submissive life, which she did not like. Soon she comes out of the marriage bond and decides to lead a financial independent life by creating an identity for her by acting in films and ads. She rises to the pinnacle of fame.
