Locating woman’s scripting in Rabindranath Tagore’s Nastaneer

Abstract

This paper explores Tagore’s depiction of individual scripting by women in his short story, The Broken Home (Nastaneer), and also how such scripting endures social opposition. In each story, the individual scripting struggles hard to maintain its sustenance. Since it becomes very difficult to assert as to whose scripting goes upper hand (Individual or social), the paper only depicts how they interact with each other in interesting ways.
