Acknowledgement

I take this opportunity to express my genuine gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. M. Dasan, Reader, Department of English, University of Calicut, whose steady and sure guidance helped me in writing this work.

I must also thank in the warmest way possible, my mother, my wife Sheeba and my friends Prof. N. Govindan, Mr. A.Prabha Kumar and Mr. Rengarajan of the Dept. of English Maharaja’s College, Eranakulam, without whose active and enthusiastic offers of help and concern, I would not have finished this work.

ASHLEY PAUL

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

(1 Cor. 13. 9-12)
