ABSTRACT

English is a West Germanic language that originated from Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain in the mid 5th to 7th centuries AD by Anglo-Saxon settlers from what is now northwest Germany, west Denmark and the Netherlands, displacing the Celtic languages that previously predominated. English is the third most commonly spoken language in the world today with upwards of 360 million first language speakers, a further 375 million for whom English is a second language and many non-native speakers worldwide. The English literature has developed over the course of more than 1,400 years. The history of the English language has traditionally been divided into three main periods: Old English (450-1100 AD), Middle English (1100-circa 1500 AD) and Modern English which began in the late 15th century with the introduction of the printing press to London and the King James Bible as well as the Great Vowel Shift. This article is focused on historical development of English-language literature rather than the literature of England, so that it includes writers from Scotland, Wales, and the whole of Ireland, as well as literature in English from countries of the former British Empire, including the United States. However, until the early 19th century, it only deals with the literature of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Key Words: English, Language, Literature, History, Development, Journey.

ABSTRACT

The novel of Arundhati Roy entitled The God of Small Things is one of the most famous Indian English novels which goes on to win the Booker prize and thus it becomes hugely popular throughout India as well as abroad. Roy has beautifully presented the characters of females in realistic manner and also exposes the realities of lives of the Indian people. The society that we live in is largely patriarchal and thus it regards females as merely playthings. Roy also talks about this aspect. So, the novel is a wonderful attempt from Roy to satirise the contemporary Indian society and its people along with the other elements like untouchability, treatment to females and the patriarchal nature of the society. She has exposed the brutality of the males against the females even in the modern India.

Key words: Patriarchal Society, Females, Males, Untouchability, India, Realities of the People, Modern.
