Description

Abstract: This essay focuses on Rabindranath Tagore's depiction of feminism and dichotomy portrayed in Bimala that is unique in “The Home and the World” unlike other female characters in Indian literature. It denotes how Tagore was found to establish universal humanity to order to understand society and culture in building a woman in era of Swadeshi movement. This chapter explores the complex psychological aspects of the protagonist, Bimala within the political viciousness of the Nationalist Movement yet unfolding her journey to emerge as a new modern woman retreating back to her conjugal life with Nikhil on exploring her emotions to her illusionary love disguised as Sandip.
