Emotional Consequences of Gender-Based Violence: Influences on Ratnamala’s Decision-Making in The Story of Felanee
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study analyses how the emotional consequences of gender-based violence (GBV) shape Ratnamala's decision to elope with Kinaram in Arupa Patangia Kalita's novel, The Story of Felanee (2011). Focusing on the sociocultural practices of 1940s Assam, this research reveals how GBV, particularly the oppressive norms of widowhood prevalent in Ratnamala's patriarchal, upper-caste Hindu community, profoundly impacts her emotional landscape and ultimately fuels her act of resistance through elopement. By integrating the decision-making framework of Ernst and Paulus with Damasio's Somatic Marker Hypothesis and Kahneman and Tversky's Prospect Theory, this paper provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between GBV, emotional responses, and Ratnamala's pursuit of autonomy and happiness.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
