A Feminist Stylistic Analysis of Ayesha Tariq’s Sarah: The Suppressed Anger of the Pakistani Obedient Daughter
This descriptive study attempts to analyze Sarah: The Suppressed Anger of a Pakistani Obedient Daughter from a feminist perspective in order to investigate the transition of the Pakistani female author to her novel. This is a pictured novel composed and shown by Ayesha Tariq. The main character of the book is Sarah, who has to suppress her anger to meet the expectations of her family and society. In numerous Pakistani families, young ladies are viewed as great, quiet and delightful and to do as such they need to stifle their displeasure no matter what: this is the focal subject of a new and exceptional realistic book. This paper examines women's representation through feminist stylistic analysis of women's rights. There is a need to observe portrayal of Pakistani ladies according to the perspective of female journalists and this hole is made here. Pakistani society is for the most part known as a male-overwhelmed society. Orientation relations in Pakistan depend on two essential ideas: that women are subordinate to men, and that men's dignity lies in the actions of the women of his family. Feminist analysis shows that women are portrayed as materially active but they are powerless and their actions highlight their negative and distorted image. Their exercises make them monetarily and socially obliging to men. As in the Tariq's clever Sarah is a dutiful little girl, and dreams of autonomy, travel, and sentiment. However, her existence with her moderate family is a snag to the existence she truly cares about. The absence of a fantasy arrangement doesn't make this clever less ladylike, nor does it debilitate Sarah. Instead, it shows what Sarah needs to bear consistently and the amount she needs to battle to ensure she proceeds to study and dream notwithstanding the gigantic strain to adjust. Coins Sarah's story is a significant update that there are not just open places that should be reclaimed against orientation segregation - these are largely places, counting and especially at home and in the cerebrum. As a women's activist exploration study, this original brings issues to light locally
