Question

what is the poets attituded towards the amalkanti ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Everyone has a dream to be something or the other in his life. From childhood, we start dreaming. We get inspiration from the people around but we sometimes get forced to become what our relatives want or someone else wants. When we don't follow what our heart says, it becomes difficult to achieve. Amalkanti may also have got the inspiration to become sunlight from his own name ' Amalkanti ' that means sunshine. His dream can not be considered to be foolish or unrealistic as he achieved what he wanted. Everyone knows nobody can become sunlight. If he had wished to be sunlight, his wish must have been to do something that can be compared to the sunlight. Here the speaker is at fault if he translates his wish list Ally. At the end of the poem, we find that through the books he prints in printing press, he spreads light to the world in the form of knowledge.

This poem has two different perspectives - the speaker's and the poet's perspective towards Amalkanti. The speaker thinks that he has failed to achieve his goal as he is doing a low paying job, whereas the poet has different opinion. He says that it is only Amalkanti who achieves his goal as he spreads light in the form of knowledge. Except Amalkanti, all the classmates of the speaker compromise with their dreams since they don't become what they wished in the past. From my perspective too, his dream is not foolish. I would go with the poet not with the speaker.

Answer 2

It seems you are searching for " what is the poets attitude towards the amalkanthi in the poem Amalkanti by Nirendranath Chakravarty?

Answer:

The poet's attitude is full of wonder towards amalkanthi.

Explanation:

• The poem Amalkanti has been written by famous Bengali poet Nirendranath Chakraborty and has been published in Oxford Anthology of Modern Indian Poetry, New Delhi 1994.
• The term “Amalkanti” means pure radiance and in the poem, is the name of the main protagonist.

• Amalkanti’s name suits his character very well as he wants to become sunlight, which here refers to the source of inspiration.
• Nirendranath Chakraborty has used the literary device Irony to express whether Amalkanti is successful in becoming sunlight or not.
• Irony is a device or a statement in which the meaning that the speaker implies differs strongly from the meaning that is expressed visibly.

• Amalkanti’s desire is to spread the happiness associated with sunlight. That's why it's described as the ‘timid sunlight of late afternoon ’that ‘clings like a smile.’
• The poet has conveyed his point of view through a skillful use of the image of sunlight that he has created. Look at the careful choice of words.
• The adjective ‘timid’ aptly describes the softness of the sunlight. In late afternoon the sun’s intensity is on the declining side. Thus all the harshness that can be equally associated with sunlight is removed from Amalkanti’s dream. In his dream there is only softness and happiness associated with sunlight and the same is achieved through the use of the image of sunlight clinging like a smile.
