  abstract: As can be seen from the title of the thesis, two fictional works of Bharati Mukherjee which are Wife and Jasmine have been chosen as the main sources for this study.

This research is expected to contribute significantly to the subject as the researcher has decided to discuss the phenomena of immigration and expatriation together which are usually examined independently in previous studies. Also, it is a creative …
