Abstract: The demarcation between men and women on the basis of gender has moved a long way from the stereotyped views of the society. The theoretical dimensions gave wide possibilities to analyse the very concept of gender and sex. Gender has become a fluid concept with end number of features in it that can be chosen by an individual. K. R Meera’s novel Aarachar questions the basic distinction of men and women drawn by the codes and conventions of the society. By creating, a quantified table for analysing the features of society perceived male and female, it is easy to illustrate how much K.R.Meera has moved to break the rigid system. The paper has distinguished the novel into two for a clear analysis, as gendered self and metamorphosed self, on the grounds of gender theory.
Keywords: Gender has Become a Fluid Concept With end Number of Features in it That can be Chosen by an Individual.
