Charulata (The Lonely Wife), 1964, India, Bengali

Scene Description Over dinner, Bhupati tells Charu that her brother Umaprasad will be joining his press to assist with its work. He understands Charu's loneliness and offers to write to Umaprasad asking him to bring his wife Manda along to keep Charu company. However, Charu's malaise, if it can be called so, is much more complex than mere boredom. She is not only intelligent but unusual amongst women of her time. She has a strong literary bent, yet her simmering creativity has no outlet. (2/14)
