A Kaleidoscopic Journey of The Gaze By Elif Shafak

Abstract

The present research paper will focus on A Kaleidoscopic Journey of Elif Shafak’s novel “The Gaze”. The researcher has selected this novel because it highlights the most realistic issue of judgemental society. The diversity of techniques and stylistic devices used in this novel have highly captivated the researcher’s attention. Qualitative method has been used in this research study as it is considerably suitable here according to the researcher's mode and purpose of research that is to be descriptive. The researcher has concluded that the issue of judgemental society is prevailing everywhere in the world no matter which country it is. Therefore, she suggests that people should not only see the apparent beauty of others but also the inner beauty because it is everlasting and one becomes more beautiful when his inner self is pure and beautiful. But sadly our society judges people merely on the basis of their physical appearance so their beauty is cherished and ugliness is resented forever. Thus, it gives a lesson that people should not be so judgemental towards others and one should be known for his inner beauty instead of the bodily measures.
