The writers from Chaucer to this date portrayed the different roles of women in their respective literary works. Although the image of women in the works of the majority of writers was inevitably one-sided, they paved a way for women novelists to represent women from a woman's perspective. Since then, the contributions of women novelists have become increasingly noteworthy. Over the last 150 years, women novelists have tried to explore the psychology and sociology of women with increasing depth and made significant contributions to the perception of women in the literary canon. More recently, the feminist movement has produced a more conscious depiction of the roles of women. However, the portrayal of women in the novels of Orwell is somewhat different from both traditional as well as modern novelists. It is stereotyped, devious, fatuous and weaker. Women characters in his novels are often degraded with humiliating names and in silent, sad and solitary ways. In this paper an attempt has been made to focus the identity of female characters in the novels of Orwell. | | Keywords : | | |
