CHARACTER OF KIRAN (THE CAST AWAY)


 CHARACTER STUDY OF KIRAN

Kiran, a significant figure in 'The Castaway,' holds an equal place alongside the protagonist, Nilkanta. Esteemed by all in her hometown, she suffered a grave illness, prompting her husband, Sharat, and mother-in-law to take her to a house by the riverside in Chandernagore Village for a change of scenery. Believing herself fully recovered, Kiran, full of vigor, yearns for the company of villagers. The solitary life by the river becomes unbearable, and she eagerly seeks an escape.

Despite being a mature wife to Sharat, Kiran retains a childlike fondness for fun. Unexpectedly encountering Nilkanta at the riverside house brings her immense joy, diverting her thoughts from returning to her village. Their burgeoning friendship sees Kiran enjoying Nilkanta's theatrical displays, steadfastly supporting him and overlooking the mischief caused by him and his mischievous friends. Disregarding complaints from her husband and mother-in-law, she assumes a role akin to both a mother and sister to Nilkanta.

However, with the arrival of Satish, her brother-in-law, Kiran's attention shifts away from Nilkanta. Like a playful child, she indulges in merry activities with Satish, neglecting her previous bond with Nilkanta. As they prepare to leave the riverside house, Kiran advocates for Nilkanta's inclusion, despite the family's objections. Attempting to shield Nilkanta from being labeled a thief when Satish’s inkstand vanishes, Kiran's heart brims with sympathy for the homeless boy. In a gesture of compassion, she secretly places two new outfits, a pair of shoes, and a banknote in his box as a surprise gift.


While kind-hearted and trusting, Kiran occasionally exhibits more childish tendencies than those expected of a mature and responsible wife. Despite her isolation, her compassionate nature extends to creatures and strangers, showcasing her unwavering belief in goodness and finding joy in simplicity. Kiran stands as a poignant symbol of youthful resilience and the enduring strength of hope.
