Anita Desai’s mastery over words is manifested in her felicitous and deft use of images. Her imagery is always in character which suits the lone plight of her characters. In Desai''s novels, the struggle of the alienated self takes place through dialectic of images, through an intricate pattern of imagery. Through imagery, Desai achieves the polarisation of the opposites. In her novels there are a number of symbols which have a contextual signification. In Anita Desai''s novel characters are found to be ''thinking in images'', i.e. images which strike the mind as the projection of other minds in immediate contact with social realities. Thus Maya''s character is projected through Monisha, Monisha''s through Sita''s and so on.
