Abstract
Literary Feminist Criticism has introduced itself against the
female representation in literature as an object of beauty and
desire. Her existence is only possible if she is obedient and
passive. She is born to glorify man as epitome of perfection, and
herself as a witless being, useless alone, and if she uses her
mental faculties that eventually leads to fall of a man. This
academic discipline criticizes male authors who create a female
character under the strict patriarchal notions where she is
identified as inferior and beautiful creature to amuse her sexual
counterpart. Feminist Critique aims to deprecate these
stereotypical roles of women by bringing the marginal and
peripheral to the centre through their deconstructive readings
of the text. The present study employs the technique of close
textual analysis to How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia and
aims to analyze the generalized representation of female
characters as mediocre and inferior creature. The novel
highlights the image of women as witless beings who are
helpless without a man. This study will examine how female
characters are stereotyped and associated with man as wife,
mother and sister. The paper will finally conceal that the text
produced by a male author is captivated with his traditional
patriarchal thinking patterns that give fabricated identity and
recognition to the female characters.
