The
paper basically highlights character of women in proses of Rabindranath Tagore.
Tagore’s female characters are steadfast and headstrong in their own ways. Some
of them have challenged the ways of the world, while others have held onto
their ground strong and steady without ever compromising their honour and
dignity. The thematic concerns of the short stories discussed here reflect
Tagore’s ideas regarding his immediate socio-cultural milieu. Needless to say,
Tagore’s personal association with them has profoundly impacted the way in which
he has sketched the women characters in the short stories. True to the spirit
of the age in which the stories have been written or are set, his women
characters too tread on a forward journey towards finding their selves and
identities by shedding off the shrouds of depreciation and disgrace.
Identity,
Self-Realisation, Women, Dignity.
