Depiction of Woman in Heer Waris Shah

Abstract

    In every folktale characters hold a significant place because they are not confined to describing or fantasizing the love relations but they reflect the collective social behaviors of the concerned society. Waris Shah portrays Punjabi culture in his classic Heer Ranjha and elaborates on the internal social system and every character of the tale represents the core realities of society. The present study is to highlight the intellectual, symbolic, social, and cultural representation of female characters in Heer Waris Shah.
