Abstract: [Anita Desai’s ‘Clear Light of Day’ investigates the intricate interplay of Indian women’s narratives, psychoanalytic theory and the literary brilliance of Anita Desai’s work. Grounded in the psychoanalytic framework pioneered by Sigmund Freud and enriched by post-Freudian perspectives, the research centers on the psychological exploration of Desai’s ‘Clear Light of Day’. Focused on the character Bim, the paper unravels the layers of her personality, rebellion against societal norms and profound psychological bonds, offering a transformative understanding of the power inherent in literature, psychoanalysis, and the narratives of Indian women writers. The exploration extends beyond conventional portrayals highlighting Bim’s resilience that transcends societal expectations emphasizing her intense desire for love and unwavering affection for family.]
