摘要

我是一个已婚妇女。我也是一名职业女性。我喜欢我所做的事,而且我做我喜欢的事是有报酬的。然而,每天下班回家,我都怀着沉重的心情。不。我的工作场所没有威胁。尽管世界各地的许多职场女性都不同意我的观点;但幸运的是,我不是其中之一。我最大的威胁是回家见亲家,忍受他们对我整天不在家的冷嘲热讽。家里的男人能做到。这不是问题。但是,我去和不去工作是一个国内争论的问题。我通常不会报复。但我忍不住不时地思考,生活对女性仍然是多么不公平。仔细想想,世界各地的女性仍在为平等权利而战,这一事实违背了所有逻辑。人类已经掌握了飞行、在月球上行走和创建了互联网,但女性仍然不能被信任对自己的身体做出自主决定,不能被保证免受暴力或骚扰,也不能因为做同样该死的工作而获得与男性相同的报酬。许多妇女不时表达她们对性别不平等的不满。Anita Desai是作家中一个如此强大和有说服力的声音,她在所有作品中都努力反映女性自治是如何在严格的父权文化模式中努力证明其存在的。本文试图参考她的一部小说《再见,再见黑鸟》(1971),来强调文化遭遇对男女关系的困扰。这部小说讲述了一位名叫萨拉的英国女士与来自印度的移民阿迪特的疏远,阿迪特每天都沉浸在与自己社会中的印度人结婚的错误中。尽管她是一个来自所谓先进西方的女人,但她安静、温顺、顺从;而阿迪特,大多数时候表现得像一个典型的印度男性,保守、刻板、重男轻女。通过萨拉,德赛通过世界各地不同社区之间反复出现的不安全、分裂、无家可归和寻求身份认同的主题,提请我们注意婚姻对女性的自我毁灭。

Bye Bye Blackbird: A Reflection Of The Struggle For Female Autonomy Against A Rigid System Of Patriarchy
I am a married woman. I am also a working woman. I love what I do. And I am actually paid to do what I love. Yet, everyday I return home from work with a heavy heart. No. My workplace poses no threats. Although many working women across the world would disagree with me; but fortunately, I am not one of them. My greatest threat is my returning home to my in-laws and tolerating their snide comments on my being out all day. The men in the house can do it. That is not a problem. But my going and staying out to work is a matter of domestic debate. I usually don’t retaliate. But I cannot help brooding over, from time to time, how unfair life still is towards women. When you really think about it, the fact that women all over the world are still fighting for equal rights defies all logic. Humans have mastered flight, walked on the moon and created the internet but women still can’t be trusted to make autonomous decisions about their own bodies, be guaranteed freedom from violence or harassment or get paid the same amount as men for doing the same damn work. From time to time, many women have voiced their disgruntlement over the gender inequality. Anita Desai is one such powerful and persuasive voice among the writers, endeavouring in all her works to reflect the how the female autonomy strives to prove its existence in a strictly patriarchal cultural pattern. This paper seeks to refer to one of her novels, Bye, Bye Black Bird (1971) to highlight the way man-woman relationships are bedevilled by cultural encounters. The novel deals with alienation of an English lady, Sarah, married to Adit, an immigrant from India, who spends her days wallowed in the guilt of committing a mistake of marrying an Indian in her own society. In spite of being a woman from the so-called advanced west, she is quiet, meek and submissive; while Adit, behaves most of the time, like a typical Indian male, conservative, rigid and patriarchal. Through Sarah, Desai draws our attention to the annihilation of self that marriage involves for a female, through a recurring theme of insecurity, fragmentation, homelessness and the quest for identity among different communities across the world.
