Abstract

Gender is a notable concept which becomes popular in the twentieth century. It is socially constructed and it divides humans into male and female. It is a system which controls our lives in the society. It is everywhere such as sleeping, eating, watching TV, shopping or reading. We could not get a passport without the birth certificate which records our gender. Thus every human body is assigned a place in a binary structure of gender in the modern society. In this research paper, I will try to find out the gender elements in Salman Rushdie’ Shame. I will focus on the characters of this novel and will try to locate the paragraphs where Rushdie has use the Gender element.
