Three daughters in Rabindra's short story: Ratan, Uma, and Subha/ রবীন্দ্র ছোটগল্পে তিনকন্যা : রতন, উমা ও সুভা

Abstract

The short stories in Rabindranath Tagore's collection of stories are like a treasure trove of gems, where various child and adolescent characters are spread like countless pearls. From there, a few pearls are collected and arranged to form a garland. Three teenage characters have been selected from the numerous characters in the collection of stories, Ratan (Postmaster), Uma (Khata) and Subha (Subha). Each character is brilliant in its own way. Reading the selected stories, it is understood that the storyteller has very skilfully developed their mental development. The storyteller has very consciously applied the characters' behaviour, behaviour, and dialogue. As child and adolescent characters, they have become attractive and realistic. An attempt has been made to analysed the psychological aspects of these teenage characters from a new perspective.
