Mirroring Emotional Strangulation of Relations: Mahesh Dattani’s Thirty Days in September

This present paper tries to analyze emotional strangulation of relations in Mahesh Dattani‘s Thirty Days in September. Thirty Days in September is a remarkable work by Mahesh Dattani. Here the playwright unveils one of the darkest sides of our society that is ―Incestuous Relations‖. There are a vast number of children suffering the trauma of being molested at the hands of their loved ones; the outcome of such situations is ―loss of trust‖ and ―low-confidence‖ of the victim. Dattani, in his play portrays the pain of a girl, who had suffered molestation; the trauma, the grief and the twinge of that childhood memory haunt Mala and make her vulnerable. The playwright has aptly caricatured every scene and character and has successfully portrayed the perpetration of women in our society.
