Postmaster by Rabindranath Tagore
I've
figured that it always helps people studying literature, when there is a comprehensive
set of ideas they can start from. I've always loved studying literature and spending
detailed, organized time analyzing my readings. It helps! The insights it gathers and
presents to a person is invaluable.
In the
small village of Ulapur, an Englishman who owns an indigo factory near it manages to get
a post office established. A postmaster from Calcutta gets separated from his family and
transferred to this village. From the noise of the city, he comes to a deserted village
with just scattered glimpses of people.
Tagore, a lover of
nature, uses it to describe the surroundings. The postmaster’s office has a green, slimy
pond, surrounded by dense vegetation. The way he describes this shows that postmaster is
not in a position to appreciate his closeness to nature.
