Paper Details

Love as a prime factor dominates in most of the stories across the languages. The concept of love according to Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore is not based on give and take relationship. It is only to give and think about the welfare for the loved one. In the proposed study, we have taken three characters from the three short stories of Rabindranath Tagore, “SUBHA, POST MASTER, KABULIWALA”.In these short stories , the innocent love for the child is reflected and reverberated in the heart of the character even after the separation. These stories hold serious concern for innocent love. The desire to meet and praying for the betterment of the child is the key features of these stories. Tagore has intermingled the star realism and poetry idealism in his stories which reflect the contemporary Bengal .It not only shows innocence but also shows other symbols like animal nature, fear, solution, loneliness, affection and kindness, unconditional love etc. Innocent love is well expressed in these short stories. Child love considered to be pure and platonic is described well in these stories. The diversity of personality and the psychology of children are vividly presented in the stories.
