Most of her characters display neurotic quantities, the origin of which may be traced back to their early lives. Sometimes her characters seem to be aggressive, sometimes they show regressive behaviour, and still at other times they show displayed aggressiveness. Ultimately most of them develop neurotic qualities which prove unfortunate, even fatal, in some cases. The most important aspect of Desai's characterisation is the depiction of the gradual of their neurosis.It is interesting to see her characters talk in the third person narrative and to trace the graph of the slow psycho-physiological changes in their activities affecting their relationships with other human beings.","PeriodicalId":210568,"journal":{"name":"Quest-The Journal of UGC-ASC Nainital","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115101447","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}
