Abstract
Feminism is an interdisciplinary approach to issues of equality and equity based on gender. This paper presents an attempt to study the female characters portrayed by Namita Gokhale’s debut novel Paro: Dreams of Passion (1984). In novel Priya and Paro are major female characters. Priya attempts to emancipate herself from marriage by manipulating men but falls short of Paro’s level of freedom. Paro is the narrative of the social butterfly who has been reduced to social shambles. She enslaves men with her beauty and seduces every man she meets in search of love. Namita occupies a distinction place with realism, liberation, fantasy, self quest, sexual autonomy and human relation. Both the female characters Priya and Paro have a different perspective about their life but both have dreams of passion, which cannot materialize. The novel ends with the death of both Priya and Paro. It is the work of fiction that challenges us to consider the feminist elements of Gokhale.
