Nectar_In_A_Sieve

Nectar In A Sieve  The book Nectar in a Sieve talks about three main themes one of which being Women’s roles.(TS) The things that Rukmani care for in this book seem to be nothing but family and her husband. “While the sun shines on you and the fields are green and beautiful to the eye, and your husband sees beauty in you, which no one has seen before, and you have a good store of grain stored away for hard times, and a roof over you and a sweet stirring in your body, what more can a woman ask for'”(CD) As for the question “what more could a woman ask for'”, how about a life outside your work and family'(CM) Rukmani (in this sentence) has mentioned everything that belongs to her husband, and her love for her husband...and that’s it.(CM) As for me as a reader, it was found pathetic.(CM) Also, when Kunthi, Ruknmani’s neighbor comes into her home demanding rice, she becomes the personification of greed and jealousy quicker than most can say the author’s name.(CD) “I will have the rice now or your husband shall hear that his wife is not as virtuous as he believes-or hears.”(CD) This creates yet another stereotype that women a sniveling creatures looking to exact revenge book, family, home, though, life, husband, having, girl, even, about, work, women, woman, true, theme, takes, reader, maybe, just, it’s, isn’t, happy, gain, everything, days, bad, wrong, world, waste, using, trials, time, tears, sure, smaller, small
