“Troubled times breed reflective thinkers” This statement directly connects to the fictional writers of its time and orders. It fits to interpret the depiction of women characters in the light of feminist approach. Fictional novels inevitably shape the explanatory logic of ‘Modernity’. Women characters reveal the inescapable presence of Position and power in the lime light of modernity. This concept frequently engages the exercise of empowering and powerful roles particularly in popular fictions. A few fictions come under the category of feminist approach. Women character particularly in 1980s to 90s had a keen strategical approach projecting them as warriors and their struggles to culminate the conventional and guise audaciousness to Modernity. A few novels had propagated women character projecting their thirstiness for power and freedom from the clutches of the past disabilities of domestication and patriarchal codes. Indeed, women character roles of the Mid-20th century novels are strongly related to the myths of the past to reckon the situational factors challenging the present norms of liberty. Their reasons and perceptions for survival are associate with willingness for economic independence, bound by a sense of individuality and self, and desire advancement of education and career. The existing tension of the society, anxiety and doubts of the individual, solitude and ambiguity of the transition imposed by the survival schemes are the binding factors reasoned by the situational demands. It seemed women were compressed by such tensions and vandalized their self-identity. They are extremely challengeable seeking wider scope of interpreting the concept of female heroism. Hence, certain themes allocated to these character roles compromise our understanding for acceptance of the challenges and the changes incorporating a new vision model of the current scenario.
