Shashi Deshpande’s ‘deconstructive’ approach in ‘reconstructing’ the ‘formed’ images of the female goddesses, brings out an entirely unique aspect of her writings, as a votary of female choices and voices. The myths have accorded her an appropriate pedestal to prove that when celestial beings had to undertake an agonized journey towards self annihilation, how can the mortal feminine beings be left out? The self-worthiness of these spiritually established beings was met with no less than agni pariksha. Myths, as depicted by Deshpande in her The Stone Women, hold an entirely different purpose for Deshpande. She avers- “Myths have given us a moral framework by which we live” Keywords: Identity, Negotiate, Indian psyche, myths, feminism, challenging, agni pariksha, Self-annihilation, voiceless, sensations, feelings, desires, phoenix, paradise, horizons
