- Аннотация: The article deals with the problem of the self-realization of a heroine in contemporary Hindi novels. One possible option for self-realization is the transformation of a reading heroine into a writer. Though even heroines of one of the earliest novels by Premchand (“Vardān”, 1912) became poetesses,who devoted their lives to their Mother-land, the heroines of many Hindi writers of the XX-th century (Jainendra Kumar, Ilachandra Joshi,Upendranath Ashk) were presented as devoted readers. A scope of their reading is considered, because it shows signs of spiritual and mental maturation,presents the life goals of a heroine, and sheds light on other characters. Novels by prominent Hindi writer Mridula Garg (“Uske hisse kī dhūp”, “Chittacobra”,“Maĩ aur Maĩ”) show that one of the author’s main ideas of the way to self-realization is by becoming either a poetess or a writer. These threenovels have a similar basic plot, arrangement of main characters and share the common idea of a woman’s self-expression during the process of creating literature. It might be explained by the biography of Mridula Garg herself,who was born in a very intellectually-minded family, four children of which became prominent writers. Mridula Garg’s first three novels compose a kind of trilogy, whose main heroines (Manisha/ Manu/ Madhavi) are in search of their own identity, destination, and life purpose. We can see some typological connections between these heroines and Madam Bovary or the heroines of Jainendra Kumar (Sunita, Kalyani) and some Hindi women-writers. In the novels of Mridula Garg, the heroine pursues a kind of love-triangle, where her self-realization depends not only on herself but on both her partners as well, because they can aid or prevent that self-realization. This idea (important and necessary for a male hero) is developed in the works of some other Hindi women writers and will be illustrated through the example ofShivani. It confirms that writing is the most important form of existence for an intelligent modern heroine, whether a literary heroine or a woman writer.
