As going over the text of Rabindranath Tagore’s “punishment” many questions have crossed over my head. But the one that is keep on coming up was sa professor mentioned in class “was justice served?”. If you see into the view of the men in this story, it will be a situation of unjust because of the flaw of the justice system. But in the other hand, in the view of the main women character; Chandra, in some sense I feel a way of justice. For her, the everyday life in the so called family, the disbanded relationship between spouses and the disrespect of actions such as demanding for food so rude, Chandra may have been fed up with this for good. Also the actions by her husband Chidam caring more of saving his brother, can have effected Chandra with sorrow and emptiness. In my life maintaining a married life, many of my surroundings talk about happy wife is happy life, the one thing women needs is the attention of their spouse. Because of this background, I was more related to the way how Chandra may have felt and maybe disgusted in this situation of outraged with this bizzare action. I believe many will agree that people do silly things when they are mad or not in a good mood. It is just hard to stay in a positive state. I believe that this is the only way to trying to understand Chandra’s decision of sticking to the lie and giving up her life.
