Abstract

This paper seeks to attempt a critique on the portrayal of women in Tagore’s fiction. Gerald Prince introduced the concept of disnarration, which refers to the silences in narrative structure. In Tagore’s fiction too, we find those silences. This paper would try to delve deep into the silences and also find out answer to some questions which remain unanswered.
