Abstract

The intention of this research article is to explore the different aspects of the politics of hair, as this novel can be considered as a melting pot where love, romance and adventure intersect and intermingle with the shifting meanings of hair. This is an endeavor to explain the role played by hair in defining one’s identity and emotions.
