Intergenerational Perspectives on Success in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s before we Visit the Goddess

Author(s):

Kavitha S and K Viji

Abstract:

In diasporic literature, relocation is often recognized for upcoming generations, particularly the female cohort, who must live according to their rubrics and protocols. Education is ultimately for men and women. From the age of Montessori, many personalities have been aggressive for women's education and their progress. This was mirrored in our literature, particularly in the immigrant practices, which are most valuable because the women achieved success in their educational, personal, and cultural aspects. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s mother also had a certain intention and ideology regarding attaining success as a woman. This particular experience was developed by her best-selling novel Before We Visit the Goddess. In this novel, characters can achieve several types of success. Presumably among the three generations of women, Sabitri, Bela, and Tara. This article gives a clear perception of success regarding numerous generations. With the reference of Karl Mannheim’s Theory of Generations (1928), whose view is that people are face the life according to their cultural and social circumstances for current society This article widely explores the idea that has emerged in the first generation, but they couldn't achieve so they assume the following generation to achieve it owing to education, but they don't know that the age will change and most contradictory issues will arise, so be the change we the change.
