Answers
Answer:
Rabindranath Tagore's writing was innovative in Bengali literature at the time for its focus on daily life, as opposed to the more traditional concerns of Indian literatures, which tended to be constrained to epic and religious tales. His short stories often depicted exceptional circumstances and critical moments in the lives of everyday Bengali people, be they rich or poor, men or women, and even living or dead. Throughout his short stories, Tagore engages themes of domestic roles, the supernatural, and class. Sometimes these stories have conclusive endings with clear morals, and sometimes they're wry or mysterious parables that don't seem to end or have any direct message.
"Punishment" is the story of a man, Chidam, who accuses his wife, Chandara, of a murder that his brother committed. While Chidam claims that he has a way to clear Chandara's name, Chandara is so repulsed by her husband's actions that she chooses to take the responsibility for the murder, believing that the death penalty will be preferable to continuing to live with a man who betrayed her.
