Is Matangini's involvement outside of marriage justified in the novel, 'Rajmohan's wife' or do you see some contradictory signals in the text? Discuss. 

It must be admitted that Bankimchandra was indeed the pioneer of the Indian novel in English, since he produced a novel which proved that it was possible to write about Indian life and depict Indian scenes in a foreign language without any blind imitation. From this perspective Bankim’s Rajmohan’s Wife makes an interesting study. The novel is fascinating for many reasons. It reveals how as a young author Bankimchandra was not only a past master in writing English with ease and fluency but was well aware of the plight of women in the society. The text reflects his wide knowledge of the literature of his time. It was remarkable for a young man of twenty-five to weave so mature a story and project women realistically in their prevalent social set up. The  characterization of women is amazing and ‘shows a real criticism of life’ Rajmohan’s Wife may not be regarded as Bankim’s finest novel but it established Bankim’s place as the first Indian to write a novel in English.  Realism is the chief trait of this novel. The novel may appear to be fashioned in the mould of a romance particularly due to the manner in which elements of mystery and suspense, trysts, devious intrigues and nocturnal exploits, burglaries, abduction, sudden turns of events, unexpected revelations and challenges have been effectively deployed. These traits set against the theatrical backdrop of thunder, rain, storms and lightning, swelling rivers combine to build up a medieval ambience, modelled on the gothic novels of Sir Walter Scott. But Rajmohan’s Wife is a faithful depiction of the rural setting of Bengal in the dark days when the evils of _____ __________ _____ ___ _________ _______ _______ _________ ______.
