The Gatekeeper's Wife by Rukhsana Ahmad Summary in Urdu/Hindi| The Gatekeeper's Wife Themes| Setting and Characters.
Gatekeeper’s Wife and Other Stories, Rukhsana Ahmed paints a grim picture of the realities women face in the struggle to survive in the patriarchal society we live in.
In this women-centric collection of short stories, the characters belong to diverse cultures and ethnicities, with a predominant focus on women of the East - a trend that predominates in South Asian writers.
A writer of Pakistani origin based in Britain, Ahmed’s experience allows her to critically assess the women of her region who migrate to the West with their families in search of a brighter future. And as a woman brought up in the East, she understands the dynamics of the cultural norms of émigré’s roots, which is clearly depicted in her stories.
The title story narrates the life of Annette, a British ‘memsahib’ married to an affluent man in Lahore, who is in a relentless quest to escape the drudgery of her everyday life as a housewife. She bore no children and does not regret doing so either. The society she lives in, however, is reproachful towards such women. Although Ahmed has not explicitly mentioned it, this could be one of the reasons why Annette still finds herself an alien in the city despite having lived here for a long time. The love and affection she showers on the animals at the zoo shows how women desire the love and nurturing of their families- an important aspect that was missing in Annette’s life.
Ahmed explores the popular subject of migration and resettlement in her story ‘The Nightmare’. She has shown that the anticipation of moving to the West in search of better lives may not always be a pleasant experience, especially for women. It can be burdening and heart-wrenching. Fariha the protagonist is put through misery after migrating to Britain with her children to reunite with her husband after ten years of separation. Unable to acclimatize with the norms and habits of the West, she goes through immense emotional trauma and is admitted in a mental asylum, while her husband Salim appears to be embarrassed at his wife’s condition. Fariha is misunderstood in the west; she is a simple woman whose existence is still entrenched in the values of the east, where husband and children are the only motive in a woman’s life. Both Annette and Fariha are victims of alienation in their own homes; for both have migrated abroad yet neither of them has settled. ‘First love’ is also about a Pakistani family in Britain; however these appear to be old migrants. The family is led by a single mother who is very protective of her three children. The protagonist of the story is the daughter Shahbano, who is in love with her brother’s best friend. This story is a fresh escape from the otherwise serious and dim lives of females in the other stories. The author explores the idea of the awkwardness and innocence of first love, and though it’s a short story, the readers can get attached to the characters.
The Spell and the Ever-Miving Moon is a gripping tale of a woman who is the target of domestic violence by her husband. She resorts to black magic in hopes of bringing an end to her miseries, a practice not uncommon amongst the less privileged in our society; though we witness that out of fear and distrust Nisa is unable to practice it on her husband. But her resolve to stand up to him is nonetheless seen when she refuses him his conjugal rights and takes an affirmative action at the end to abolish this life of humiliation. Nisa appears to be one of the strongest characters of Ahmad; she is determined to put an end to her husband’s injustices and when nothing works she takes a bold action which most definitely is uncommon in our society. She is a character to be proud of, a woman to look up to.
