The Manifold manifestation of Violence: An analysis of Christi Lefteri’s the Beekeeper of Aleppo

Violence is not a new phenomenon in this world. Gender-based violence has been a daily issue throughout history in all countries from the ages. Humans have been abused in many ways for myriad reasons. The common types of violence include Physical, Sexual, Psychological and Economical. Crimes, armed conflicts, and urban and domestic violence are some of the ramifications of violence. The researcher has used the combined conceptual framework of violence and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 & 16) in this study. The objective of this research is to uncover the various forms of violence in the select text of Christi Lefteri’s The Beekeeper of Aleppo (2019). The research will bring out how the male and female characters are discriminated against based on gender, caste, nationality and other social factors. This finding serves as an undertone and reveals that this continued violence will not lead to a sustainable life for the people of this world.
