to her family (promise to her dying mother, care of siblings and father).
• Fear of the unknown, guilt, and the weight of domestic responsibility paralyze
her.
• At the quayside, she cannot move — she grips the iron railing, unable to board
the ship.
• She is ultimately prevented from leaving by deep-rooted psychological paralysis
— Joyce's theme of Irish paralysis.

complete emotional shutdown.

Each answer carries 2 marks: Content = 1, Expression = 1. Word limit: 30–40 words.

(a) Shadow in John Donne's 'A Lecture Upon the Shadow'

(before noon) represent the early growth of love; afternoon shadows represent the
fading and deception that set in when love begins to wane.

(b) Ingmar Bergman — fundamental raw material of a film

script or dialogue, but rhythm and the succession of images — the way light,
movement, and silence come together to create cinematic experience.

(c) Milton's tribute to Shakespeare in 'On Shakespeare'
Ans. Milton argues that Shakespeare does not need a stone monument because his
works are his living memorial. Shakespeare has built 'a live-long monument' in the
hearts of his readers, who are left 'wonder-wounded' by his power.

honesty, and the moral principles she wants her child to witness. a
(e) Amartya Sen — India's argumentative tradition
Ans. According to Sen, India's argumentative tradition is unique because of its
ancient history of public debate, heterodoxy, and tolerance of disagreement —

Value Points (Content — 3 marks):a s e
l
ag
• Prakriti is a Chandalika (untouchable girl) who carries deep shame about her low
caste identity.
• When Ananda (Buddhist monk, disciple of Buddha) asks her for water, it is the
first time a respected person has treated her as a human being.
• This simple act shatters her sense of worthlessness — she realizes she is not
impure; the monk sees all humans as equal.
• The moment marks the beginning of her spiritual and social awakening — she
m

begins to question the caste system.
m

• She develops a deep emotional and spiritual attachment to Ananda, which drives

creating an internal crisis.
• Her mirror-image (her repressed Kannada-speaking self) confronts her, accusing
her of betraying her roots.

• The play explores bilingualism as a source of cultural conflict: English brings
success but severs emotional and cultural ties.
• Manjula's alienation reflects the broader dilemma of postcolonial writers torn
between indigenous identity and global accessibility.

Total: 5 Marks

Q10. Long Answer — Attempt any ONE of two (Chandalika / Broken Images) (5
Marks)
Marks: Content = 3, Expression = 2. Word limit: 120–150 words.

(a) Prakriti's journey from self-loathing to self-realisation (Chandalika)

Value Points (Content — 3 marks):
• At the start, Prakriti is consumed by shame — she sees herself as impure and
unworthy due to her caste.
• Ananda's request for water plants the seed of dignity — she begins to question
why she must accept a degraded identity.
• She becomes obsessed with Ananda and convinces her mother to use a magic
spell to bring him to her.
• The spell works, but at a great cost — Ananda loses his spiritual energy and
nearly his life.
• Prakriti ultimately releases the spell; she realizes true love cannot be forced. This
is her self-realisation — she chooses compassion over possession.
• Ananda's role: he is the catalyst who sees her humanity and unknowingly initiates
her transformation.
Expression = 2 marks

(b) The mirror as a theatrical device — divided identity (Broken Images)

Value Points (Content — 3 marks):
• Karnad uses a split-stage device: the 'real' Manjula speaks in English; her mirror
image speaks in Kannada.
• The mirror image represents Manjula's suppressed, authentic self — the writer she
was before choosing English.
• As the play progresses, the mirror image becomes more assertive and dominant,
while Manjula loses confidence.
• This theatrical device externalizes the internal psychological conflict of a
bilingual, postcolonial writer.
• The broken image of the title suggests a fractured identity — Manjula's self-
image is shattered by the confrontation with her repressed truth.

(a) What does Prakriti's mother fear when Prakriti pursues the monk ?
m s e m
s e l a
ag
Ans. Prakriti's mother fears that the monk will not reciprocate Prakriti's feelings
g l a
and that involving a Buddhist monk in matters of desire is dangerous and may
a
bring harm to both of them.

(b) Who is Malini and her relationship with Manjula ?
Ans. Malini is Manjula's deceased sister who was a writer in Kannada. Ironically,
Manjula has published the novel using stories Malini had written in Kannada — a
fact that becomes central to the play's conflict.
m
(c) Significance of the term 'Chandalika' in the play
m .co
s e
Ans. 'Chandalika' refers to a girl of the lowest, untouchable caste. In the play it
g la
represents the burden of caste-based discrimination. Tagore uses it to challenge the
a
caste system and assert the spiritual equality of all human beings.

(d) Why does Manjula's mirror-image disagree with her ?
Ans. The mirror-image represents Manjula's suppressed Kannada self and inner
conscience. It disagrees because Manjula has taken credit for stories written by her
dead sister Malini and denied her own Kannada literary roots.
m
(e)mWhat spell does Prakriti's mother cast and its consequences ?

him. This forces Prakriti to withdraw the spell and release

(f) How does Pramod Murty's interview affect Manjula's public image ?
Ans. Pramod Murty's probing interview questions begin to expose contradictions
in Manjula's story about her novel. His questions unsettle her public image of
success and bring her hidden guilt and deception closer to exposure.
