Doomed to Loneliness: The Image of the Bengali Woman in the Films of Rituparno Ghosh
View through CrossRef
The aim of this paper is to present and analyse the image of Indian women presented in Rituparno Ghosh's films. The analysis is focused especially on the cultural background of women's depiction in India. Ghosh's movies are a kind of confrontation with traditional images of Indian women. In spite of the gynophobic tendencies of Indian society, Rituparno Ghosh analyses the psyche of woman and creates a depiction very different from the Sanskrit heroine’s attitude and the sex appeal of Bollywood stars. So, the question is: what are the women of Rituparno Ghosh like? The paper presents four models of femininity we can find in the director's movies: Woman as Body/Object, as Mother, and Widow.
