Abstract

Literature reflects society. People study literature to better comprehend their own and other people's experiences. People in all civilizations interact with one another, and as a result, bonds form. Education makes a person more civilized. Campus life is considered as the most flamboyant days of a person. In Canada Undergraduate degree or Bachelor’s Degree requires 3 to 5 years of study. Canada has some of the prestigious universities. When speaking about campus fiction the most customary or habitual way we analyze the same is how campus life is reciprocating student life and vice versa. At the same time campus novels do give a focus on the life of lecturers and faculties but it’s much fewer. In the novel Black Star by Maureen Medwed interestingly portrays a female philosophy professor named Del Hanks. Studies has been conducted based on Canadian Fiction but there is a lack of study on the 21st century academic fiction that too written by a female author. In the novel Black Star, the central character is female professor her hardships and difficult phases are been described with the inner lining application of trauma. But interestingly nowhere in the novel the word trauma is been used.
