    Heer renders resistance to patriarchy and puts forth a glimpse of 21th century
    (UMT, Lahore, 2021) MUNTAHA RANA
    Heer Waris Shah was a tragic story of Sufism and eternal love. It actually portrays culture, tradition norms and, human satisfaction level or most prominently a refutation of the system of patriarchy. This research argues that Heer knows her rights and puts forth an image of a 21st century- woman who stands against the patriarchal society where men are the only powerful element. I basically conduct an analysis of Heer Waris Shah in a way that focuses on patriarchy and how this element forces Heer to go against the conventions of society courageously. I use Bell Hook’s theory of patriarchy and Karl Marx theory of superstructure in this thesis to analyze the data. This analysis validates the research questions. This research shows that how Heer stands against man-made superstructures in society and fights like the women of 21st century.
