Abstract

Feminine world is built up of both love and fortitude. Society depicts only the lovable side of the women who is known for her warmth and tenderness. But the stark reality is that women is an amalgam of love and valour. The word ' fortitude' can be equated for women when it is analysed in the works of William Shakespeare and Rabindranath Tagore. The work Antony and Cleopatra written in 1606 and Chitra published in 1913 both deals with dauntless woman’s ‘Cleopatra and Chitra’. Cleopatra was noted for her beauty and charm who wins the heart of Antony and Chitra was displayed by Tagore as a woman who wins the favour of Arjuna by her feminine wiles. The truth is been unwrapped here where Cleopatra’s intellectual eminence wasn’t praised and Chita’s sacrifice to be raised as a boy to protect the people from robbers and lotters wasn’t brought under limelight. This article will travel and explore the strength of the women and it will redefine the definition of women.
