Analogous’
Analogous’ is the seventeenth Century Greek word which represents the meaning of similarities. ‘Incongruity’ is the word evolved in the year 1525 from Latin, which means differences. Although Virginia Woolf and Anita Desai lived in diverse eras, they share their unique obsession with nature, technique, imagery, style, analogous and incongruities in their select novels. Woolf and Desai magnanimously handle ecofeminist stance in their novels to embrace the natural world with the values and splendidness of the ecosphere. As a voracious reader, Desai was influenced by Woolf’s works and created similar values of the female protagonists in her narratives. Woolf and Desai’s novels are having a rapport with nature and virtual portrayal of ecology and to cease the up threat to nature caused by humans. The psychological temperament of women, identity, desires, feelings and the stream of consciousness with nature is penned skillfully in the post-Independence era by Desai. The outer and inner feeling of Anita Desai matches with Virginia Woolf.
