| Recreated Ken depicting Devdas - the protagonist of the tragic Bengali novel, Devdas, written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Devdas was the son of a rich landlord in the early days of 20th century Bengal. His love for his childhood companion, Parvati (Paro), blossoms when he comes back after his education from Calcutta. However, forced by family pressures against an inter-caste and inter-class marriage, he decides to leave his village, and Paro, for Calcutta, where he writes to her about his inability to marry her. However, when he realizes the injustice that he had inadvertently meted out to Paro, he returns to his village to convince Paro to take him back into her life. However, her wedding already having being fixed to another rich landlord, she refuses Devdas. The rejection leads Devdas on to a path of alcoholism and eventually to a courtesan in Calcutta, by the name of Chandramukhi. Chandramukhi falls in love with Devdas but her love remains largely unreciprocated and yet she dedicates her life to this man. Alcohol leads Devdas to fall terminally ill, after which he realizes the worth of Chandramukhi's love. To keep his word given to Paro, he makes a final journey to Paro's home, who of course is now married. He had promised Paro an opportunity to serve him once in his lifetime. However, Devdas reaches Paro's doorstep on the verge of death and dies before he can get a final glimpse of Paro. |
