Salman Rushdie: Thematic Parallels Between Ayesha And Gibreel
Number of pages:
15
ABSTRACT:
15 pages in length. The manner by which the themes of Salman Rushdie's Ayesha the Butterfly Girl parallel with the story of the archangelic career of Gibreel Farishta speaks to the notion of religious fundamentalism, defiance against conventionalism and the search for self-identity. Clearly, the marriage between politics and religion represents the fundamental basis upon which Rushdie crafts his novel; it is with a significant amount of social courage and literary prowess that he so eloquently weaves the thematic parallels between Ayesha and Gibreel. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
