Abstract:

The objective of the present paper is to analyze and provide interpretations to some selected songs of Rabindranath Tagore from a psychological perspective. Nature, particularly monsoon, is a recurrent theme in Tagore songs and rain has been used as a metaphor to depict creation at some times and destruction in others. This inherent dualism in nature has been dealt with by means of content analysis where it has been observed that the ego balances the id and superego at an individual level in a similar manner as the nature aims to strike a balance between the forces of creation and destruction. The present article may open new avenues of thinking for research related to Tagore’s works.
