‘Teen Kanya’: The Mature Sharmila Persona in Satyajit Ray’s Films:
Phalanx Spacer
The essay looks at the roles played by Sharmila Tagore in Nayak, Aranyer Din Ratri and Seemabaddha, which appear similarly drawn. The roles are generally taken to represent the ‘strong woman’ but the three women are not strong individuals with desires and trajectories of their own. They are, rather, moral ideals engaged in reforming weak men. The essay looks at the provenance of this representation and comes up with interesting results.
