| description | This paper explores the socio-psychological problems of the protagonist in Kavita Kane’s Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen, discoursing the causes for the socio-psychological problems that the marginalised were subjected to in the epic era. This research aims to study the-then social conditions and analyse how they cause the trauma in the psyche of the protagonist. While the Freudian psychological approach interprets that the causes for the psychological distress are to be searched for in the unconscious minds, the Marxist approach asserts that they are to be seen in the then-material conditions of social life. So, the Marxist literary critical approach is necessary for carrying out this research, tracing the dialectical relationship between the human psyche and the then-contemporary social relations. It is asserted that the social discriminations would adversely cause socio-psychological problems among individuals and it was true in the case of Karna, too. |

Este artículo estudia los problemas sociales y psicológicos del protagonista de la novela Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen de la escritora india Kavita Kane. Para ello, se revisan las causas de los problemas sociales y psicológicos de los marginados en la literatura de la era épica de la India. Por esto, este artículo presenta una investigación sobre las condiciones sociales que causan un trauma en la mente del protagonista. Para acercarse al problema se hace una revisión desde el psicoanálisis freudiano donde se determina que el malestar y la angustia surgen de causas inconscientes. Por otro lado, se acude al marxismo para determinar que el trauma emerge de las condiciones materiales de la vida social. Se encuentra que la crítica literaria marxista es iluminadora a la hora de entender al protagonista de la obra ya que se comprende la relación dialéctica entre la psiquis y las relaciones sociales. Finalmente, se concluye que las discriminaciones sociales causan, de manera adversa, los problemas psicológicos como se puede ver en la novela de Kavita Kane que el artículo estudia. Este artigo estuda os problemas sociais e psicológicos do protagonista do romance Karna's Wife: The Outcast's Queen da escritora indiana Kavita Kane. Também são analisados os motivos dos problemas sociais e psicológicos dos proscritos na literatura da era épica indiana. Portanto, este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa sobre as condições sociais que causam traumas na mente do protagonista. A fim de abordar o problema, é desenvolvida uma revisão da psicanálise freudiana, onde se determina que o desconforto e a angústia surgem de causas inconscientes. Por outro lado, o marxismo é usado para determinar que o trauma emerge das condições materiais da vida social. Assim, constata-se que a crítica literária marxista é esclarecedora quando se trata de compreender o protagonista da peça, uma vez que a relação dialética entre a psique e as relações sociais é compreendida. Por fim, conclui-se que as discriminações sociais causam os problemas psicológicos de forma adversa, como pode ser visto no romance de Kavita Kane.
