I researched about different novels with feminist angles however, my supervisor advised that I explore other themes as well. After discarding several ideas, I decided to explore the theme of marriage, religion and motherhood through two contrasting novel i.e- The Scarlet Letter and Amar Jiban. In addition, I had to reframe my research question several times due to unavailability of sufficient research material and the topic being largely explored.
