• Exploring the Domestic Space in Sefi Atta’s Everything Good Will Come

Saima Usmani and Dr. Vijay Singh

Abstract: Nigerian novelist and dramatist Sefi Atta has written on feminist issues in her works. She has authored many books, including Everything Good Will Come, about a young Nigerian woman navigating gender, identity, and societal change as she grows up in the 1970s and 1980s. The book examines the difficulties women encounter in patriarchal societies as well as the strategies they may use to stand up for themselves and establish their agency in the face of prejudice and persecution. The article will examine Atta's treatment of feminism in the domestic space. A descriptive qualitative analysis is incorporated through the lens of feminism. Atta concludes that the creation of sisterhood and sincere friendship would be the only way to address the issue of patriarchal oppression.

• Thought and Consciousness Representation in Narratology

Kavita Singh and Geetha Yadav

Abstract: Narratology, a branch of literary theory, delves into the structure of narratives. It investigates commonalities and differences among narratives, based on a shared literary language or universal codes within texts. Narratology examines thought and consciousness representation in literature, analysing various text such as novels, poems, films, comics, and games, across different cultures and media. This paper delves into the crucial role that the representation of thought and consciousness plays within the field of narratology, highlighting its profound significance and impact on narrative analysis and interpretation. As narratology has permeated nearly every literary field, its focus on thought and consciousness has grown more prominent over time. Studying these aspects enhances the depth and creativity of fictional characters, allowing an exploration of their inner feelings. According to linguists and narratologists, narratives can represent not only events but also the psychological states of individuals' minds, making characters more lifelike and relatable in literary works.
