Ramakanta's family keeps the newly weded couple apart in separate rooms so that they are forced to refrain from sexual urges. As Champa matures, her traditional duties in the kitchen and her natural urges pull in opposite directions. Very sympathetically, the writer allows her to grow into a self-reliant human being. The husband, too, writes a letter to her just before he disappears and tells her that she needs "to study, to understand, and to develop your personality."
