Abstract

Comparative Literature is used as a tool to assess the commonly shared qualities in creative writing written all over the world in different languages and in different social, cultural, political, and historical contexts.  It not only aims at making comparisons but also insists on including contrastive elements too.  Even though Toni Morrison (1931 -       ) and Margaret Atwood (1939 -       ) write in English, they belong to different nationalities and race.  However, they uniformly conceive the need to write about women in general and their problems and sufferings in a patriarchal society in particular.  They unvaryingly affirm that when women suffer, they desire to get a moral support on something to live and exist in this barracoon of madness
