| Abstract | ||
Walker is viewed to be the forerunner of Womanism. It includes Spiritual Wholeness to her protagonist. Now it is the time to open the heart is one such novel which reveals the Spiritual Wholeness of the protagonist Kate Walkingtree. The Spiritual Awakening has been attained by her in the form of sermon given to her by her grandmother. “Open her heart” is nothing but allowing the world to flow into her to attain Spiritual Realization. Walker‟s idea of Spiritual Wholeness goes in tune with the concept of Advita, which talks about oneness with the divine. |
