As I read through “The Young Wife” by Zaib-un-Nissa Hamidullah
published in She: June 2011, I was much moved by the highly
picturesque wordings of the article. True, we all are well aware of the much
violated women’s rights here in Pakistan and while we choose to ignore them
completely (some might even argue that no such violation exists), the situation
only deteriorates thus giving way to acts of desperation.
After completing the two page article I was impressed by how
moved I was regarding the story narrated therein. However, I noticed how the
authoress had used powerful words throughout the article, only differing in
terms of positive and negative. Negative words were of course used in connection
to the male presence in the article to sympathize with the female characters.
This technique of persuading a reader to take sides through words is generally
termed as brainwashing. And that, no matter if used for good or evil, is
considered wrong if viewed from the common eye. It would surely be affective in
producing positive results however, such a method is sure to backfire at some
point.
