Question

Character sketch of Ajith in the story "The Match box"

Answer 1

The role of Ajith reflects a kind of person who can not trust any woman, and considers female gender lower to him. He do not take care of the privacy of women and believes he possess all kind of rights on women. He thinks women has no courage and can not do anything that can harm him. 

Answer 2

Answer:

‘Matchbox’ is a story of a married couple Ajit and Nomita. Ajit married

Nomita because of her beauty. He has the habit of opening his wife

Nomita’s letter and reading it. Sometimes he wouldn't bother to give her

letters to her either. He says that it is his right to check it to see

if she has a lover. Even if she questions about it, he would laugh or

scold her. When there is a letter from her mother, Ajit says sarcastically

to find out a money order form. To suppress his behavior problems, he

highlights Nomita’s family and background saying that she is dung

picker’s daughter and now a queen only because he married her.

Though he is from a rich family, his behavior towards Nomita seems not

up to his status. Towards the end of the story, Nomita burns the anchol

of her sari. He was frightened to see it and immediately he puts out the

fire. It s clear that Ajit is of dominating nature outwardly where as he

fears inwardly when Nomita asserts her rights and tries to break the

shackles of her domestic slavery. He is presented here as a man who

always tries to keep his wife under his control and thus becomes a

typical male- chauvinist.
