Abstract

Sara Suleri is highly valued and illustrative writer of postcolonial era in Pakistani English Literature. She is highly appreciated for her thematic concerns in her writings. Subaltern is the appropriate term to break down the selected short story for new interpretation. This study focuses on the struggle of lower class. It also highlights the miseries of those who belong to lower class. ‘The Property of Woman’ portrays how the people of lower class especially women are marginalized. This study discovers the postcolonial concerns of the selected short story to find the concept of marginalization through the lens of the concept of subaltern. This paper focuses on the application of the concept of subaltern through two dimensions, that is, woman as a subaltern for being woman and woman as a subaltern for belonging to a marginalized group of society. The researcher has tried to apply these two concepts on the selected short story through the character of protagonist, Halima.
