The Perspective of Phallocentrism in Arundhati Roy’s God of Small Things.
ABSTRACT
The present paper scrutinizes the phallocentric theme portrayed in Roy’s novel
God of small things.Many works show a phallocentric view of women portrayed in
stereotypical roles accepting male
dominance. Luce Irigaray uses the term Phallocentric in order to draw
attention to the over valuation of male
sex organ(phallus) by patriarchy and to indicate continual subversion. Roy in
her non linear story, set in the town of Ayemenem,Kerala, raises voice through
the Omniscient narrator against patriarchal attitudes and love laws that who
should be loved and how and how much.
KEYWORDS: Arundhati Roy,Phallocentrism,Patriarchy,Sexual Exploitation,Non
linear.
