Abstract

Narayan is among the best known and most widely read Indian novelists who wrote in English. Although Narayan never accepted the fact that he was a feminist. But we find such traits in some of his novels which appeal to feminism. In this paper I will explore the portrayal of women and language used for them in the light of feminism with special reference of The Guide and The Dark Room.
