Brodolom

Rabindranath Tagore

The novel Wreck (1906), the work of an Indian Nobel laureate, is a story set in colonial India, exploring themes of love, identity, tradition, and moral dilemmas through a complex plot full of unexpected twists.

The protagonist, Ramesh, a young lawyer, is in love with Hemnalini, a girl from a prominent Calcutta family. However, under pressure from his father, he enters into an arranged marriage with an unknown village girl. During the voyage on the Ganges, the ship sinks in a storm, and Ramesh survives with Kamala, a girl he mistakenly believes to be his wife, as they were not seen during the wedding ceremony. Kamala, also married to an unknown man, believes Ramesh to be her husband.

Upon returning to Calcutta, Ramesh keeps his marriage a secret and places Kamala in a girls' school, while he renews his relationship with Hemnalini. This confusion of identity and moral irresponsibility leads to a series of complications, including jealousy, family pressures, and social norms. Tagore realistically depicts Ramesh's "shipwreck of a life," examining the tension between personal desires and social expectations.
