Abstract:
The research titled "Portrayal of Gender in Vijay Tendulkar's Sakharam Binder and Tennessee Williams's A Street Car Named Desire: A Comparative study" compares the works of writers belonging to diverse cultures of India and America respectively. The study highlights gender issues which are a recurring theme in their plays. The works of both playwrights depict the psychological impact of physical and sexual abuse on the minds of female characters in these plays. It examines the way in which Tennessee Williams used the character of Stanley to portray the Masculinity of a Working Class American, Tendulkar has done the same through Sakharam, to showcase Gender roles and their effects in an Indian working-class Environment. Blanche vs Laxmi/ Champa and how men treat them, the comparison gives us an insight on how a dominating male figure not only robs them of their sanity, but also their lives. Thus, This paper intends to compare both these plays by analyzing them through a cross-cultural lens to depict the portrayal of gender roles in these works and their impact on society. The study shows that gender stereotypes and male dominance leading to the subjugation of women are prevalent issues in both Indian and American culture
