‘The Wreck’ by Rabindra Nath Tagore sketches the greatest works of the wheel of fortune. Timeless tides, destined stroke of luck and an ambiguous human mind, all imbibe in them the undying threads which surrender the present to the anxious past. Fate, we shall see plays the game throughout the cycle of the book. It was not just the lives of the four characters, namely Kamala, Ramesh, Hemnalini and Dr. Nalinaksha who suffer the consequences of the wreck, but their destiny, the course of fate and the sufferings, everything.
