The most important characteristic of a great short story is single impression
(Hudson 339).1 The short story writer interweaves character, setting, conflict, plot and
theme in such a way that it creates a single effect on the reader. Tagore and
Dhoomketu both have created stories of impression but some of these stories have
created unforgettable characters. Thus, an impressionistic study of the characters of
Tagore and Dhoomketu becomes imperative for developing a holistic framework of
the writers.
The characters of Tagore and Dhoomketu represent universal cycle of
happiness and sorrow in one’s life as for both sukh and duhkh are the favourite
companions of human life. Hence, while projecting reality of life Tagore’s characters
create an ideal image while Dhoomketu’s characters create a real image - real with
human flaws. Thus, Tagore has idealized character while Dhoomketu has realized
characters. Tagore and Dhoomketu experience all the desires, hopes and conflicts of
mankind and add fictional values to reality by using it in creating stories.
