The King of the Dark Chamber Rabindranath Tagore Books Reviews
The king lives in a dark chamber. He is alienated from the people by the royal persons and other demagogues. He is strong, an immense source of power, but he is also lonely. He is used by the court for his power; whoever stands in their way of exploitation, they pit the king against him. They transform the villagers into nameless, passionless phantoms.
Then comes this girl to the city, looking for her love who is missing. She meets the king, and the king realizes his loneliness and longing. She is also a rebellion against the structures imposed by the powers to be. She awakens the humanity in the villagers by her trust, belief, tenderness.
Threatened, the demagogues scheme the lover into a fight against the king, and he is destroyed. Broken-hearted, she sacrifices herself with a call for rebellion. The king realizes how his destructive power has been manipulated by the demagogues, and joins the fight against himself.
The King of the Dark Chamber, a play written by Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengalese Nobel Laureate, an allegory of an individual’s spiritual and personal awakening in their quest for beauty and truth. Among many of the play’s themes, the relationship between Sudarshana, the Queen and the King is symbolic for the relationship between man and the Divine; and for some, a romantic relationship between two equally powerful individuals. The King of the title is unseen by his subjects, some of whom question his existence, while others such as the maidservant Surangama are so loyal and worshipful to him that they do not even request to see him. The subjects have no need for proof of the King’s existence; they believe him to be real and great. Only those who have disarmed their own pride in subjection to their King know him. They have a sense of when the King is nearing and when he is present. It is through a process of the humbling and subjugation (consensual) of the King’s wife, Sudarshana, that the play describes her journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Sudarshana is initially depicted as a proud, yet immature queen, bemoaning the cruelty of her husband, whom she can only meet in a room that is kept forever dark. She desperately aches to see and know him, and out of that yearning falls in love with another king, whom she meets in the world outside and mistakes for her husband. It is only when she has been humbled through a series of mistakes to complete despair and has cast away her pride, that she can be reconciled with her real husband, before whom she now bows with servility. Only when Sudarshana is brought down to the level of the servant can she become the Enlightened Queen. In an expression of perfect paradox, it is through one's decision to serve, that he/she becomes powerful and beautiful.
A fan of Tagore for many years, I've never actually read this play. This is a subtle read and important for those people interested in mentoring others.
The King of the Dark Chamber This is a short story which has a nice message that one should always see the internal beauty instead of external one.
Thanks!
