Traditional norms and conventions are fundamentally established to serve for human being irrespective of any caste, creed, sex and religion to live harmoniously in a society. Marriage is believed to be a solemn occasion in one’s life to provide a social and cultural recognition. Women, being part and parcel of the society are required to be equally treated as male members of the society. If this is reversed and women are subjugated or marginalized or social and traditional norms are imposed on them in the pretext of preserving tradition and patriarchy, then the possibility of destroying the so-called tradition is very positive and pertinent. In this article, an endeavor has been made how the protagonist of the novel, Seasons of Flight, Prema seems to transcend all traditional norms of patriarchy to achieve her ambition. She breaks all social barriers and moves to the USA to live as she dreamt. Several people come to her life but none can satisfy what she really and heartily needed. Prema’s search for identity and her conflicting nature against patriarchal hegemony finds a space in the discourse of the novel. The protagonist tries to assimilate with the American culture, her inveterate efforts to retain her identity etc. leads to open a new paradigm in literary discourse.
