Abstract

The rules and regulations made by man become his own hurdle in the society where he lives. But without that, society cannot be a civilized one. To make the society a civilized one, he or she has to live to the limits and bondages that he or she has created. In living so, the norms and the traditions impede the growth of the individual. The writer watches the impediments in the society and projects it in his literary works. The person who doesn’t share the major values of the society feels himself to be an outsider. He or she makes a new bond or overthrows the existing one – marriage bond or any other relationship - hampering their growth. Such a shackle is being dissolved when the problems go beyond limit. The characters of the American Writer Willa Sibert Cather (1873-1947) and the Indian Writer in English Shobha De (1948-) falsify the ideology of suffering within the bonding and overcome the barrier to move forward towards the ladder of success.
