Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the childhood of Anita Desai’s characters so as to analyse the reasons that contribute towards the disintegration of their personality. The world of these personages- replete with lonely strivings, desperations and near-neurotic urges- is an ossified and petrified domain that is destructive to their healthy growth. Detrimental home conditions, mainly during impressionable age, have paralysing effect on them and at times even cause near psychic death. This paper will primarily focus on the depiction of children in Where Shall we go This Summer?
