Question

Character sketch of leela benare in silence the court is in session

Answer 1

Leela Benare is a talented young school teacher in her mid 30s. While she is clever, she is also manipulative and sly at times. At the same time, she is frank, rebellious, sociable, extrovert, and assertive. She is very dedicated to her profession and works hard for the upliftment of her students without deviating from her duties. This makes her extremely popular among the students, while earning the jealousy of the management and her colleagues. Benare questions the management’s desire to mix her profession with her personal life. She pays a heavy price for this.

Leela has always been betrayed in love. This is one reason she has always been a spinster. She is also a member of an amateur dramatic troupe based in Bombay known as the Sonar Meti Tenement Progressive Association. Some jealous colleagues in the troupe suspect her of having a relationship with Prof. Damle of the same troupe. To know the true facts, they enact a drama with a mock trial that unfolds her past and reveals that she is an unwed mother. However, she is determined to give her baby a home and security and also a father’s protection. For this, she approaches many people but is turned down. Finally, the court declares that she has committed a grave sign by embracing motherhood without marriage.
