| Abstract: | Anita Desai’s novels are widely recognised for their intricate exploration of human consciousness, emotional landscapes, and inner conflicts, marking her as a prominent practitioner of psychological realism in contemporary Indian English literature. This paper examines how Desai employs narrative strategies, interior monologue, and nuanced characterisation to depict the psychological complexities of her characters, often navigating alienation, identity, and existential anxieties. Drawing on literary theory, psychoanalytic criticism, and narrative studies, the paper analyses key novels, including Cry, the Peacock (1963), Clear Light of Day (1980), and Fasting, Feasting (1999), to demonstrate how Desai captures the inner lives of her protagonists while situating them within broader social and cultural contexts. The study highlights the interplay between individual consciousness and environmental, familial, and societal pressures, asserting that Desai’s psychological realism not only illuminates subjective experience but also critiques cultural and gendered structures. |
