Manik Bandyopadhyayer Chotogalpe Gouno charitrer Bhumika O Jiban-Bhabana/ মানিক বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায়ের ছোটগল্পে গৌণ চরিত্রের ভূমিকা ও জীবন-ভাবনা

Abstract

Literature is a reflection of society and culture. And so Manik Banerjee wanted to capture the full picture of life even in this youngest form of literature, wanted to find the real, down-to-earth people, that is, the meaning of the whole human being. In Manik's stories, we get to know the innermost parts of the human mind, the complex mind. He presented the 'reptilian nature' that exists in the human mind to the reader through short stories. And he created various secondary characters to properly unfold all these events in the story. How these secondary characters have influenced his stories is explained through a discussion of a few stories.
