The tragic features of V. S. Naipaul’s short story collection Miguel Street are more typical in the female characters. This paper attempts to analyze the typical female tragic characters in the book. Starting from their stories and experiences, it deeply explores the survival pressure and challenges faced by females on the post-colonial land under the influence of colonial rule. Through in-depth analysis of typical female tragedies, the author tries to provide more possibilities for the survival of post-colonial females, and further illustrates that the tragedy of post-colonial females is caused by marginal males and imperial colonial hegemony in Miguel Street.
