Özet:

 

The heroine of Bharati Mukherjee's Jasmine experiences "the tug of opposing  forces" as she travels from India to America. This conflict sets up a constant pattern  of "Hope and pain. Pain and hope." Jasmine embarks on a symbolic as well as a  literal journey that explores both the physical and spiritual dimensions of her  experience. Mukherjee contrasts the paradoxical pattern of social limitations and  spiritual freedom in India with the social freedom and spiritual limitations of life in  the New World. There is an ironic tension between the Eastern concept of fate and  human destiny, and the heroines need to exert herself and shape the pattern of her  life in the West. Bharati Mukherjees narrative is both an Indian mystical journey  and an American story of self-making.
