Irandavadhu Kadhal kadhai

It has been quite some time since I posted. Not that I did not read any novels but I found myself repeating my lines for every book.

But today after reading this, I find it compulsive to write about this book. A perfect novel on feminism by Sujatha. I love this writer. Every man she comes across in her life starting from her dad, lover, husband everybody cheats her. She is highly innocent and mildly arrogant in the beginning. Just read this novel and see how these traits interchange as she is deceived more and more. Even after reaching the sky, when she finally identifies a perfect match for her, she is again disappointed.

After deeply analyzing this novel I identified two things.

One: Though a feminist novel the protagonist reaches success with the help of two men. Of which one helps her for purely selfish reasons. May be Sujatha wanted to make this point. That makes this novel a pseudo feminist novel

Two: Is it right to gain success without any moral values ? Thats what the protagonist according to me does in this novel. She uses the shares given to her by her father. She uses these to gain majority and throws her father out of the company. Maybe that is what reality is all about. A fruit for thought.

Does it sound like Kate Blackwell in "Master of the Game" by Sidney Sheldon ?
