Abstract

The patriarchal family set up gives woman a marginalised place. She tolerates insults, abuses, scoff and scorn and many a times faces physical, mental and emotional harassment. However after the colonial rule the economic stand of her own has strengthened her feet. As she has become economically independent she makes her own judgements. Rosie is educated talented and capable of taking her independent decisions. Her art of Dance is named as Monkey Tricks, street acrobatics and mesmerizing the cobra. But she outdoes every scorn and shines out like a dancing star.
