বনফুলের ‘তৃণখণ্ড’ উপন্যাসে চিকিৎসক চরিত্র : একটি বিশ্লেষণধর্মী অধ্যয়ন/ Physician Character in 'Trinakhanda' Novel of Banaful : An Analytical Study

Abstract

Banaful is a unique talent in the realm of Bengali literature. He was the very first in Bengali literature to write a novel based on a doctor's life. His first novel is 'Trinakhanda' (A Piece of Grass). Utilizing his real-life medical experiences as the material, he emerged with great originality in the role of the novel's protagonist. From the practical viewpoint of his personal medical life, the author vividly portrayed the tension, helplessness, oppression, and confusion of the unbalanced minds of ordinary middle-class people in 'Trinakhanda'. This novel does not contain the story of any soul; rather, it is written in a first-person, confessional style.
