Abstract
Fasting, Feasting" is a novel by Anita Desai that explores the lives of two siblings, Uma and Arun, from the perspective of the traditional demands of the Indian society. Arun, being in the United States, comes to interact with different cultural norms from those with which he was brought up. The novel, therefore, brings out the contrast of roles and expectations that are heaped on individuals, especially women, by Indian society. On the other, "Cry, the Peacock" portrays the emotional turbulence of Maya—a young girl who is modifying to anxiety and an unhappy marriage. This novel written by Anita Desai plunges into the psychological turmoil and increasingly isolated mental makeup of Maya. Both novels subtly disclose the pressing influence of society on the mental health of Maya, representing sensitively the labyrinth in the human psyche and the difficulties man faces in reconciling societal demands with their insides. DEFINITION OF BOTH NOVELS Isolation and lack of communication inner struggle.
