Explanation:
Bankim Chandra Chatterjee’s debut as a writer, Rajmohan’s Wife is the first published novel in English by an Indian. The beautiful and passionate Matangini, married to a villainous man and in love with her sister’s husband, represents the vitality of women who remain strong in the face of brutality and the confining expectations of middle-class society. Bankimchandra’s vivid descriptions of the routine of Bengali households provide a revealing portrait of life in the 19th century. Rajmohan’s Wife continues to be relevant for its universal themes of love and romance and resonates even today for its portrayal of strong women.
Matangini, to whom the book’s title refers to, overhears a plot by her husband Rajmohan to steal an important document from Madhav who is her brother-in-law. She loves her sister dearly and Madhav in more ways than one. So she immediately sets out in the middle of the night through the forest to her sister’s house to warn them. Though the plot is foiled, it is not without consequences.
