Abstract The portrayal of marital relationships is an intriguing area of deep contemplation in literature. The uncanny whims and reasoning of the soul remain intangible most of the time. The unfathomable depth of the human mind plays the most crucial role in shaping the marital relationship of man and woman. However, a comparative study of relationships under the same or different contexts becomes quite helpful in understanding the grey area of marital relationships. From such studies, the essence of marital relationships becomes ostensible. Hence, the comparative analysis of The Rainbow (1915) by D.H. Lawrence with The Lowland (2013) by Jhumpa Lahiri becomes very pertinent. While The Rainbow delineates the making of a happy marital relationship between Tom and Lydia, The Lowland unfolds the suffocating relationship between Subhash and Gauri. Together, Tom and Lydia discover a new world of passion and understanding, whereas Subhas and Gauri are distracted by each other. Even while Anna, the daughter of Tom and Lydia, is privileged to enjoy the warmth of her parents' love, Bela, the daughter of Subhash and Gauri, is deprived of any such occasion. The comparison substantially points to the subtle nuances of individuals to be able to achieve either harmony or discordance.
