Abstract

Literature is one of the most prevailing and ancient ways of understanding life as well as the world. Especially women and literature are clearly related to each other because women writings revealed the true state of society and its treatment of women. Unlike other writers Anita Desai didn't use conventional and not influenced by folk tales, myths and epics but presented her novels in realistic manner by adapting current problems related to woman-man relationship, cultural conflicts, disposition, mangled psyche and marital maladjustment. Bye- Bye Black bird is such a novel. The story deals with two main characters Dev and Adit in London. Adit an Anglophile turns into a hopeless nostalgic returnee and Dev an Anglophobe turns into a hopeful Anglicized inhabitant of London. Sarah, an English woman, moves away from her parents and marries Adit. The Conflict idea between the Indianess of Adit and Sarah’s own Western self runs in her mind throughout the novel. This paper mainly aims to analyze marital maladjustment in Anita Desai’s Bye- Bye Black Bird."

安妮塔·德赛《再见黑鸟》中的婚姻失调与性格

文学是理解生活和世界的最普遍、最古老的方式之一。尤其是女性与文学之间有着明显的联系，因为女性的作品揭示了社会的真实状态及其对女性的待遇。与其他作家不同的是，安妮塔·德赛没有使用传统的手法，也没有受到民间故事、神话和史诗的影响，而是以现实主义的方式呈现她的小说，改编了当今男女关系、文化冲突、性格、心灵破碎和婚姻失调等问题。《再见，黑鸟》就是这样一部小说。故事讲述的是两个主角戴夫和阿迪特在伦敦的故事。Adit变成了一个绝望的怀旧海归，Dev变成了一个充满希望的英国化的伦敦居民。萨拉，一个英国女人，离开了她的父母，嫁给了阿迪特。在整部小说中，印度人阿迪特和莎拉的西方自我之间的冲突一直萦绕在她的脑海中。本文主要分析了安妮塔·德赛《再见，黑鸟》中的婚姻失调现象。

期刊介绍： Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origin, currently being the only one of its kind. It aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works combining the broad fields of literature and linguistics on the same intellectual platform. Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literatures in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literatures in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying device and Asia as a fundamental backdrop of their study. The three different segments that will be featured in each issue of Asiatic are: (i) critical writings on literary, cultural and linguistics studies, (ii) creative writings that include works of prose fiction and selections of poetry and (iv) review articles on Asian books, novels and plays produced in English (or translated into English). These works will reflect how elements of western and Asian are both subtly and intensely intertwined as a result of acculturation, globalisation and such.
