In "Interpreter of Maladies" by Jhumpa Lahiri, the antagonist could be argued to be the protagonist's own feelings of disconnection and discontentment rather than a traditional external antagonist. Mrs. Das struggles with a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction in her life, which impacts her relationships and interactions with others. This internal conflict drives much of the story's tension.
