Patriarchy is one of the central themes in Mohan Rakesh's *Halfway House*, a modern Indian play that presents the disintegration of a middle-class family trapped in emotional, social, and economic conflicts. The play reflects patriarchy not merely through the dominance of men over women but also by exposing the failures, contradictions, and consequences of a patriarchal social order. It portrays how traditional gender roles create frustration, insecurity, and alienation among all members of the family. The character of Mahendranath represents the crisis of patriarchy. In a patriarchal society, the man is expected to be the breadwinner, decision-maker, and protector of the family. Mahendranath _____ _____ __________ _______ ____ _____.
