The present research paper is aimed at understanding the behavior,
struggle and fight against feudal traditions of woman in Mukherjee’s novel, Jasmine.
The paper also tries to highlight the image of women in two different cultures.
Jasmine was born in a village of India named Hasnapur situated at Punjab. Jyoti was
the name given by her parents at the time of her birth. Struggle of the protagonist,
Jasmine begins from her birth itself which she continues till the end to live a life
against feudal traditions of the society. A different chapter in Jasmine’s life begins
after her marriage with Parkash. She gets married to him opposite to the tradition
and even her dreams. Suddenly Prakash is murdered in a bomb attack. She is left
alone and all her dreams destroy in a very short period. After the rape by Half-Face
she considers that now can’t run away from the new insight of her identity.
Therefore, she turns to violent behaviour in order to tell the conflict she is feeling.
She murders the Half-Face captain in a very violent way and after murder stains of
blood scatters in the entire room even on her body. In the end of the novel we find
that Jasmine moving to California with Taylor, unclear of what the future will bring
but nonetheless confident in her decision to depart. Therefore, it can be concluded
that Mukherjee’s Jasmine highlights a positive approach regarding the problems of
immigration, struggle for identity and adjustment by woman in various apposite
circumstances.
