THE STUDY OF BADAMI ANITA RAU`S TAMARIND WOMAN WITH A VIEW TO READER`S RESPONSE THEORY

Abstract

This research paper is a qualitative research with a critical approach.It is the study of novel Tamarind woman by Badami Anita Rao.This research is done with the use of reader`s response criticism or theory.The text is to be studied with a view to reader`s response theory.The only important thing is text and reader in collaboration with each other.It is said by many critics that if there is no reader there is not a necessity of a book.If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears then what does it make any difference?It is believed that the reader is as important as the text when the reading is done with a view to its research.The role of the reader transforms from psychologist to linguist to philosopher or other mental functioning.The idea of reader response criticism is complex.So, here it applied with a view to certain features and techniques I found for the study of the novel.Here are the steps and techniques to be implemented further in a research paper:

• The reader attaches himself/herself while reading the text Tamarind woman.
• Reader thinks about the form whether it’s an epic, tragedies or comedies about form seriously.
• Reader`s informative indication gradually disapppears and he/she involves in the novel simultaneously with the development of the plot.
• The reader is involved to discover the differencies and similarities.
• The reader finds the gaps in loose plots which makes him/her aware about the effectiveness of writing.

These are merely some of the features which are going to be applied on the novel afterwards there are many other aspects which will be thoroughly studied in the novel by the use of reader`s response theory.It will be implemented in the novel and in the research paper in a final copy.
