This research paper contains the comparative analysis of Shah Abdul
Latif Bhitai and Western poets' portrayal of female characters in their poetry.
In ancient Sindh, women were praised and adored. They equate women with
fertile soil as soil provides food, shelter and care to the humans. In the same
way, a woman takes care of family members and plays a vital role in the physical, mental and spiritual growth of her child. She looks after the entire family
and connects them with each other. Shah Latif delineated his characters as
loving and caring souls. His female characters love with their heart and soul
and provide peace and comfort to their loved ones. Her great attribute is love,
peace and harmony towards her children, relatives and homeland. She is thoroughly connected to her roots. This paper also depicts how poets of different
ages whether they belong to Romantic, Metaphysical, Victorian or Elizabethan
era have presented female characters in their verse, the poets being William
Shakespeare, Robert Browning, John Donne, William Wordsworh, Keats, William Blake and Shelly. Shakespeare delineated male characters as having
hamartia and depression but his heroines are strong and bold. Victorian poets
and writers showed women characters as repressed. Even woman writers never dared to pen down revolutionary character of women. But comparatively, Shah Latif represents the true picture of women as considered in ancient
Sindh. William Wordsworth portrayed conjugal love at highest and tributes his
wife as the best. On the other hand, Shah represents woman's role, keeping in
view her important role in the family. The women's position changed in Sindh
when many invaders intruded in Sindh and they were hostile to women and
eventually it merged into the society and culture. In Elizabethan and Victorian
age women were burdened by unjust social taboos whereas in Sindh, Sufi poets bestowed them with the utmost respect and portrayed them as human
beings
