Author(s) Prakash Chandra Biswas
Country Bangladesh
Abstract This research delves into the profound narrative craftsmanship of R.K. Narayan focusing on his novel ‘The Guide’. Examining the interplay of dualities, beliefs, and betrayals, the study explores how Narayan seamlessly weaves together traditional values, existential dilemmas, and human relationships in his literary canvas. The analysis delves into the moral and ethical dimensions shedding light on Narayan’s subtle critique of societal norms through his humorous narration. Additionally, the research dissects the transformation of the protagonist- Raju, in ‘The Guide’ emphasizing themes of self-realization and spiritual enlightenment. By drawing on Indian classical literature and philosophy, Narayan creates a rich tapestry that portrays the complexities of human nature and the delicate balance between appearance and reality. The study particularly aims at focusing on the dichotomies of life providing valuable insights into Narayan’s unique narrative style.
