His play projects the problems faced by the marginal and unvoiced community. He represents the unvarnished realities of the contemporary society in a realistic tone. The play Clearing the Rubble dig deep into the marginal mentality that prevails in the mind of the people and also the efforts of marginal people to enhance their social status. Dattani expresses the marginal feel through various signs with beautiful metaphorical expressions. The existential crisis of the marginal people is also highlighted in the play through the marginalized characters created by the playwright. The inner feeling of the marginal people and their feel of marginality is well expressed by the dramatists. His radio plays are mapped out in such a way that the audience feels the pleasure of experiencing a drama on stage. The mental and physical pain ofpeople in a world of injustice due to the impact of marginalization is set forth by Dattani in his play Clearing the Rubble. The BBC radio broadcasted the play on the 17th of January 2002 at 2.00 p.m. The play was written as a remembrance of the earthquake that affected Bhuj in the year 2001. The play discusses the prefixed marginal feel in the mind of the people, their struggle to overcome the feeling of marginality through education and money. The paper analyses the signs and symbols by Dattani to denote the marginal mind, gender discrimination, and the search for identity.","PeriodicalId":155026,"journal":{"name":"Shanlax International Journal of English","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126184143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Originally it stood for the Jews who dispersed from Israel/Palestine to all kinds of places in the world. Those people carried with them a profound attachment to their last place of residence. Tracing the various processes which Indian communities went through in different regions of the world as they dropped anchor in new lands and adjusted to their new surroundings, it is startling to see how they hold on to their identities as ethnic Indians while remaining loyal to their adopted cultures. Language and cultures are transformed as they come into contact with other languages and cultures. It becomes important to question the nature of one’s relationship with the culture of their origin and to examine the different strategies they adopt in order to negotiate the cultural space of the countries of their adoption. Expatriate occupies a significant position between cultures and countries. Cultures take root or get dislocated. Cultural theory is today being created by people who live on the margins. An important question is how does one define the margin? Do the margins experipheral areas further divide themselves and the centre remains the same, indifferent to what is happening around it. The migrant worker/scholar, who moves from one culture to another, needs to relocate himself/herself in relation to the centre. Sometimes it will even put the migrant in a schizophrenic situation, with regard to crossing from one culture to another. A good amount of instability is also involved at this point.","PeriodicalId":155026,"journal":{"name":"Shanlax International Journal of English","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116888785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pramileeswari","doi":"10.34293/english.v10is1-jan2022.4724","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.34293/english.v10is1-jan2022.4724","url":null,"abstract":"This study is about analysing the curmudgeon personality of Ove and Scrooge and the reflection of their ephemeral values on their contemporary society, thereby highlighting the emotion of fatherhood as depicted by their characters. The study also focuses on the reasons that make these characters experience their self - inflicted loneliness. The two greying protagonists are featured in a humorous and heartwarming way. An emerging genre within this literature is the “geezer and grump lit”, as discussed by Swinnen (2019), a genre where older people are active protagonists, and while often portrayed as grumpy usually turn out to have a golden heart. \u0000“Solitary as an Oyster”. This simile suggests the nature of a person who is tightly closed and will not open except by force. Like an oyster they don’t group. Charles Dickens uses this simile in his novel, A Christmas Carol in Stave-1. The author compares Ebenezer Scrooge to anoyster, saying that Scrooge was “Solitary as an oyster”. This comparison does not imply anything negative. Dickens uses this simile to highlight how Scrooge lived his life. On a similar platform, is the 59 year old widower and protagonist of Fredrick Backman’s A Man called Ove who bears so much resemblance. Ove is also grumpy, unfeeling and stoic is not necessarily a negative character in the story. Both Scrooge and Ove are curmudgeons in the society, the kind of people who point at people they dislike as if they were burglars caught outside their bedroom window. Both have staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse.","PeriodicalId":155026,"journal":{"name":"Shanlax International Journal of English","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122114392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
