Unveiling Characters Through Colors: A Critical Study of Sorayya Khan’s Noor
Abstract
This present research focuses on the symbolic interpretation of colors in Sorayya Khan’s Noor and the interplay of characters’ mind and environmental setting through the figurative language of colors. The use of color symbols is a vital tool to lay bare the psychological state of characters. Colors govern the plot, themes, and diction through the complexion of characters and objects. The undertaken research is non-empirical, qualitative in nature and the data has been analyzed through the content analysis methodology. In addition, the researcher finds more ways of interpretation of characters through the language of colors in Khan’s novel. Furthermore, the detailed study of the language of colours suggests the future scholars of literature and linguistics to interpret colours at the symbolic levels in other literary texts to highlight their figurative and emblematic meanings
