Abstract: In these troubled times, the contemporary world might be hailed as thoroughly secularized, but vices and sins are human tendencies and together with virtues are very much present in the modern era as they have been in times immemorial. The moral degradation of individual men and women may vary, as does the magnitude of evil forces, which may change over a period, but they can never be completely eradicated or suppressed. Since literature reflects the happenings in society, it can also said to be a framework of our society and the people residing therein.........
