Abstract: | This paper argues women’s identity in Tagore's Chokher Bali. It explores women's self through identifying different exploitations and aims to strike back at them. It explores the idea of searching position amidst the traditional society and by opposing any specific forms of exploitation propagated by male ideology and female submission. Binodini tries her best to oppose man made social norms, thereby resisting the exploitation of male culture and hegemonized female supporters. She feels that all males see her from eyes of lustfulness. For them, her innocence and fragility can be an easy target. In these backdrops, she develops her value of freedom and self to the extent that she refuses to give in to any sort of male domination whatsoever. The method of this study is on a theory called Third world feminism. It studies the biases, and prejudices of the ethnocentric orientation of the Western. |
