Women Characters in the Works of Tagore and Shakespeare

Abstract

This comparative study delves into the representation of women characters in the works of Rabindranath Tagore and William Shakespeare, two luminaries from distinct cultural and temporal backgrounds. By examining key female characters such as Charulata from "Nastanirh" and Binodini from "Chokher Bali" alongside Lady Macbeth from "Macbeth" and Portia from "The Merchant of Venice," the paper explores themes of strength, resilience, intelligence, and societal constraints. The analysis reveals that despite their different contexts, both authors portray women with profound depth, challenging traditional norms and highlighting their enduring significance in literary discourse. Through specific line-by-line examples and textual analysis, the paper underscores the universal and timeless nature of these characters, emphasizing their roles in reflecting and critiquing the societal dynamics of their respective eras.
