ABSTRACT

The present article tries to argue that the languages used by liars are distinct and distinguishable from the language used by truthful people. Linguists have managed to arrive at ready- made, user friendly key indicators of falsehood in the language that can help to detect deception. Just as  every individual has a unique fingerprint , we  leave  linguistic “fingerprints” behind as we write, and  stylometrics helps in the authorship identification. Similarly, detecting the deception is also possible, because the liars ‘leak’ cues of their deceit not just through facial expressions, body movements and voice changes, but by their verbal choices as well.

ABSTRACT

The ideology of feminism is to bring significant change in social attitude and politics to construct a social structure based on equality. This would eradicate the phenomenon of superiority-inferiority relations between male and female genders. Feminism aims at gaining equal status and opportunities for women on par with men in social, cultural, economic, and political spheres. In this sense feminism is a socio-political movement which aims at eradicating male dominance in all spheres of life right from private activities to family and socio-cultural activities. Thus feminism, the self-conscious and systematic ideology, is a women's movement, for women's rights, by women. This movement considers gender equality as a human right, in this sense feminism can be considered as humanism. 

Key Words: Feminism, Male Dominance, Gender,Marginality

ABSTRACT

The Victorian women writers depicted their heroines as individuals trapped in the norms of patriarchy. They portrayed the struggle of these heroines to liberate themselves and achieve an emancipated, mature self. Charlotte Bronte and George Eliot are noted for their intellectually emancipated Victorian female characters. This paper tries to compare the struggles and journey of the two heroines Jane Eyre (Jane Eyre) and Dorothea Brooke (Middlemarch) towards their freedom from the patriarchal, gendered, domestic identities. The two novelists succeed, to a certain limit, in breaking away from the conventional portrayal of womanhood. However, their heroines end up in returning to their lovers, thus submitting to the patriarchal traps of love and marriage.

Keywords : Victorian novelists, patriarchy, Jane Eyre, Middlemarch.
